“I have enormous respect for them, I feel very honoured that they are part of my life and part of my past but through these maps they are also part of my future.”

Five Conversations, 2021
Funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland
Film by Creating A Space

Through a series of conversations artist Alice Blackstock has created a new body of work. Alice invited five women who inspire her to share their adventures, trials, healing and decisions. The result was five portraits that map these moments in time. These visual responses are meaningful to the individual but also encourage the viewer to consider their own life experiences and the hurdles they have overcome.

Alice worked with Esther Mogada, who runs Belfast based video production company Creating a Space, to produce a documentary about the making of Five Conversations.
