The Turner Prize-winning artwork ‘The Druthaib’s Ball’ by Belfast-based Array Collective will have a new home at Ulster Museum from 24th February and we’re inviting you, together with Array Collective, to join us for 'The Melt Gala' on the 3rd March to welcome the new exhibition and also mark International Women’s Week and the legacy of feminist movements throughout our history.
Dress in your wildest finery* and prepare yourself for the red carpet of roaring 20’s flappers, Bauhaus ballets, Surrealist soirées, Guerilla Girl’s graffiti and Bewitched Double Denim.
You will meet semi-mythological characters on the red carpet from the Array Pantheon dressed in satirical costumes to express themselves, from the Failed Flapper to the Mythological Mill Beg: Banshee (bones) edition, and the Centenary Rose of Travesty. You will also encounter the Morrigan, Mary Na Gig Shee, the Slapper and the Happy Sad Sack in the ‘The Druthaib’s Ball’ exhibition.
Pssst…for information on the afterparty please head to Array’s social media.
