'Hemmed In and Hacking
It'
Life in two enclaves in Derry Londonderry. The Fountain and Gobnascale
(1996). Now archived in Derry Londonderry Central library.
Do
You See What I See? An exhibition of young peoples experience
of the Troubles using their own words and photographs.
The exhibition was created in partnership with young people from Woodvale
Youth Group, Sunningdale Youth Group, Survivors of Trauma in North Belfast,
the Alexander Park Project in Belfast, The Peace and Reconciliation
Group and St. Eugenes Primary School in Derry Londonderry and
the Cost of the Troubles Study. Children and young people were interviewed
or wrote about their experiences of the Troubles, their views and their
hopes for the future. Belfast Exposed worked with the young people in
Belfast in training them to take their own photographs, which were used
to accompany the text of the book and exhibition.
Do You Know Whats Happened?
The exhibition was composed of over twenty personal stories and excerpts
from a further 55 stories. These were presented alongside powerful images
and other findings of The Cost of the Troubles Studys research
in an exhibition which offered visitors the opportunity of exploring
the worlds of others, their experiences of the Troubles, their sorrows,
fears, ways of coping and the way their experiences have affected them.
'And
Then There Was Silence':
Filming was completed in December 1999 on a 55-minute video film based
on the work of the project, made by Northern Visions, and financed by
the United States Institute of Peace. This video is aimed at general viewers
and is also designed to be of use in training professionals to deal with
the human impact of the Troubles. Training materials and other text accompanies
the video. You can order a copy from our publications online order

Launch
of film and Personal Accounts Book
In May 2000, CCIC launched a book and video containing personal accounts
of the impact of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Two of the fourteen
accounts contained in the book are from young people, and several of
the adult accounts address the issue of the impact of the Troubles on
children. The video contains descriptions by parents of the negative
impact on children and on adults ability to parent their children,
due to the effects of the Troubles
