The higher education sector is central to the future development of the economy. Our institutions play a critical role in terms of addressing the skill needs of the workforce of tomorrow and developing our knowledge economy through engaging in research and development. The Programme for Government establishes that the economy is the number one priority for the Executive. The Economic Strategy sets out in much greater detail the economic vision and the policies and programmes that will make this vision a reality. The higher education sector has made a positive contribution to the cultural and economic life in Northern Ireland. It is diverse in its provision with a reputation for excellence in teaching, learning and research. However, there are a number of distinct and difficult challenges ahead that the sector needs to face. This Strategy now complements the Success Through Skills: Transforming Futures Strategy, which was launched last year, and the Further Education Means Business Strategy in demonstrating my Department’s integrated approach to providing skills, supporting people and contributing to the creation of jobs.

    List of Abstracts and Information about Speakers Ann Carragher, Blackpool School of Creative Art: Landscape, Liminality and Lament “A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary” (Anzaldua 2007) My current visual research explores the overlapping and interwoven histories of the landscape in and around the ‘South Armagh/ Louth Border’ (close to the town of Newry, Northern Ireland, where I grew up). This area is also known as and referred to as ’Gap of the North’ and ‘Bandit Country’. Steeped in history and trauma, the political, physical landscape of the area, active and heroic, is well documented and memorialized. Strategically the area was very important as it marked the route into the Kingdom of Ulster, and the Hill of Faughart was the scene of many important battle. I return to ‘record and memorialize’, documenting and focusing on the ‘passive, personal and intimate’. As within this border area, with its bloody and turbulent past exist ‘sacred places’ of prayer and pilgrimage. These are explored through my Fine Art/ interdisciplinary practice (moving image displayed inside ‘watch towers/bird hides’). This particular border area became the ‘expanded space for observation’ engaging in the found cultural context of ‘spaces/places’ suspended between past, present and future. The influential roles of memory, psychology and religion are interwoven in the topography of this fascinating and ‘liminal’ rural landscape. The ‘liminal’ relates to issues regarding Hauntology & Post Conflict Resolution, as the sense of suspicion, paranoia and surveillance is only too evident. The research deals with issues of cultural politics ‘enduring attachment’ (Diaspora), Trauma and Memory, (residual and suspended trauma).

    A report on a day-long event on Tuesday 19 November 2013, supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation ArtWorks Special Initiative. Prepared by curators Sarah Tuck and Caragh O’Donnell. 1 ArtWorks Northern Ireland Executive Summary 1 Introduction 4-5 2 Funders and Commissioners 6-7 3 Arts Organisations 8-9 4 Artists 10-11 5 Arts Education 12-14 6 Key issues and challenges 14-16 7 Recommendations 16-17 8 Conclusion 17-18 Appendices 1 Delegate List 2 Programme with speakers’ biographies 2 Executive Summary ArtWorks, a special initiative of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, funded a one day event in Belfast on Tuesday November 19, 2013 to explore some of the range of practices and concerns for participatory arts practice in Northern Ireland. The following report sets out the main themes that emerged in the panel discussions – Funders and Commissioners, Arts Organisations, Artists and Arts Education – with each panel discussion expanded upon in a section of the document, including specific quotes and comments from the panellists and the audience who gave generously of their time and their insights. The event, conceived as a series of conversations, brought together artists, funders, arts organisations and academics from across art forms to discuss some of the challenges and issues for participatory and public arts practice in Northern Ireland. While this report provides a summary of the day, it is hoped that this is not confused with a summative account of participatory arts in Northern Ireland, but instead understood as signposts for future collaborative events, partnerships and critical thinking. Throughout the report italicised text is used to indicate either a direct quote from the day or the written brief circulated to panellists and panel chairs in advance.
