Island Voices 2024

ISLAND VOICES 2024

Writing Home

“Home is what you take with you, not what you leave behind.” — N.K. Jemisin, American writer

Derry City and Strabane District Council presents Island Voices 2024 - a series of lunchtime lectures exploring the very personal theme of ‘home’ in the work of local writers from the English, Irish and Ulster-Scots traditions.

Featuring talks by Belfast-born Réaltán Ní Leannáin, Maureen Boyle from Sion Mills, and Alan Millar from the Laggan Valley in East Donegal, the series will explore identity and belonging within the context of our shared languages of English, Irish and Ulster-Scots.

Booking essential: Please book your place by contacting the Tower Museum (028) 7137 2411 or email [email protected]

Admission Free. Light refreshments from 12:30pm before each talk.
