Array Collective are a group of 11 artists rooted in Belfast who create collaborative actions in response to socio-political issues affecting Northern Ireland. The collective has been working together since 2016, motivated by the growing anger around human rights issues happening at the time. Array Collective reclaim and question traditional identities in the North of Ireland using humour and DIY approaches. They playfully merge performance, protest, ancient mythology, photography, installation and video. They work with a range of other creative people and organisations to create a combination of artistic expression, direct action and public interventions in the city and online. Their work embraces joy and empathy in their art-activist practice and calls attention to our need for one another by joining wider demands for rights.Array Collective are the first Northern Irish artists to win the prestigious Turner Prize. They were awarded the prize for their work The Druthaib&#x27;s Ball, presented in the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry, UK, 2021.Array Collective are: Sighle Bhreathnach-Cashell, Sinéad Bhreathnach-Cashell, Jane Butler, Emma Campbell, Alessia Cargnelli, Mitch Conlon, Clodagh Lavelle, Grace McMurray, Stephen Millar, Laura O’Connor and Thomas Wells.Galway Arts Centre’s Public Programme is supported by Creative Ireland and NUI Galway.
