Exhibition explores notion of forgiveness
An exhibition exploring the idea of forgiveness in the face of atrocity has opened in Northern Ireland.
Hosted by the Institute of Governance at Queen's University, in association with the Women's Network, the 'F Word' exhibition aims to tell the stories of people from as far apart as Belfast and South Africa who have discovered that the only way to move on is to set aside hatred or blame.
The exhibition is part of a new initiative that explores and celebrates the less publicised stories of people who have survived tragedy, who have lived through atrocity, and who have found it in themselves to forgive.
Drawing together voices from South Africa, Romania, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, Northern Ireland and England, it aims to “open up debate around forgiveness, calling into question our beliefs about right and wrong, weakness and strength, justice and morality”.
The exhibition examines forgiveness as a healing process, a journey out of victimhood and, ultimately, a journey of hope.
Dates for the tour and more information about the Forgiveness Project can be found at www.theforgivenessproject.com.
The 'F word' exhibition at the Institute of Governance on University Road, Belfast, is free, open to the public and finishes on Friday 17 June.
