Inspired by the City’s patron saint Solas Cholm Cille creatively explores the universal theme of transitioning from darkness into light. A series of illuminations evoking this theme have been created by local communities and artists from across Derry City and Strabane District Council and County Donegal. Artists who have created and facilitated the creation of the work in this light trail include Brendan Farren, Sheila Byrne, George Doherty, Karen O’Kane and Ewan Berry. Music used was commissioned by Colmcille 1500 and composed by electronica artist Ryan Vail.
Solas Cholm Cille is dedicated to the memory of artist George Doherty who sadly passed away earlier in 2023
