SUMMARY:Victoria Gallery & Museum: Victoria Gallery & Museum: Agreement: A 
 People’s Process
DESCRIPTION:Major exhibition commemorating 20 years of Belfast/Good Friday
  Agreement draws on people’s commitment to peace\nThe University of Liv
 erpool’s Institute of Irish Studies is bringing the iconic Hands of Hist
 ory installation across the Irish Sea for the first time\, as part of a ma
 jor exhibition to mark 20 years since the signing of the Belfast/Good Fri
 day Agreement.\nOpening in the University’s Victoria Gallery and Museum
  on March 26\, Agreement: A People’s Process combines photography\, p
 ainting\, sculpture\, installations\, animation and textiles.\nIt explores
  conflict and people’s capacity to build values of parity of esteem and 
 mutual respect. In recognising both victimhood and peace-building\, it exa
 mines the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement\, as well as violent conflict in
  Columbia\, Iraq and Argentina.\nThe exhibition features:\n\n\n 	Updated H
 ands of History installation\, featuring new additions such as Bertie Aher
 n and Monica McWilliams\, alongside the original hand casts of Gerry Adams
 \, David Trimble\, Tony Blair\, Mo Mowlam and other key players\n 	New ins
 tallation featuring keys collected from the cells and buildings of Belfast
 ’s Crumlin Road Gaol\n 	The first exhibition of images taken on a smuggl
 ed camera by British soldier\, LCpl Stan Holman\, who died in 1985 from in
 juries sustained in Northern Ireland\n 	An animated film featuring people 
 of all ages reading excerpts from the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement alou
 d.\n 	Textiles created in tribute to 360 innocent individuals not involved
  in proscribed organisations\, to demonstrate the human cost of violence a
 nd terrorism.\n\nInstitute of Irish Studies Director\, Professor Peter Shi
 rlow said: “Agreement: A People’s Process shows us that peace-buildin
 g does not belong to a political elite and reminds us that it is the coura
 ge and creativity of people’s commitment to transforming conflict where 
 we find creative and inspired leadership.\n“Agreement: A People’s Proc
 ess celebrates that commitment to engage and think imaginatively\, resour
 cefully and inspirationally about victims\, reconstruction and the recogni
 tion of harm endured.\n“The exhibition stimulates how we think about the
  people’s process and the ways in which we stretch beyond the political 
 and into the inspired space of OUR obligation to interdependence\, mutual 
 respect and relational change.”\nHand of History +20 artist\, Raymond Wa
 tson said: “What progress has been achieved in our society over the last
  25 years?\n“This exhibition will explore the theme with a reinvigoratio
 n of older work alongside important new installations.\n“I am very excit
 ed to have finally been able to add new hand casts of leaders like Bertie 
 Ahern.”\nThe interactive digital exhibition of Agreement is available at
