City of Culture, City of Peace 2013

It’s great news for Derry and a great challenge to peace-building: how do you do culture in a divided city?

 

Culture is inextricably linked to values and history. A people’s values can only be understood and explained in their narrative about themselves. The anthropologist Clifford Geertz described culture as simply “the ensemble of stories we tell ourselves about ourselves”. In divided societies the stories not only differ from each other, they come into conflict with each other.
