Creative Approaches to Good Relations Conference
On Friday, the 5th of March, Kilcranny House played host at the Magherabouy House Hotel to a Good Relations Conference. The day centered around workshops with intriguing names such as; gameshow, party, and agreement, which were intentionally vague as the participants were expected to be surprised by what they chose. The facilitation team, led by Jonny McEwan an artist, musician and facilitator, were dynamic and inspiring. They used gentle and playful techniques to explore different topics connected to 'Good Relations'.
The facilitators also presented their own 'Brilliant Projects' which are the successful and ongoing projects they are directly involved in. It was just a taste of the amazing and creative work that goes on around Good Relations. Kilcranny's own Rachel Rafferty also included the visual identity project, 'Look Again' into the mix. The conference was a great success and created a lot of hope for the continuation of Good Relations work in the Coleraine area. Kilcranny House would like to thank everyone who participated and made the day exciting and intresting!
A Fine Balance
by Rohinton Mistry
In 1975, in an unidentified Indian city, Mrs Dina Dalal, a financially pressed Parsi widow in her early 40s sets up a sweatshop of sorts in her ramshackle apartment. She takes in a boarder and two Hindu tailors to sew dresses for an export company. As the four share their stories, then meals, then living space, human kinship prevails and the four become a kind of family, despite the lines of caste, class and religion. When tragedy strikes, their cherished, newfound stability is threatened.
