We Should Not March to the Beat of the Same Drum by Rebecca Strain (Live Performance)
Date: 4 October 2025
Venue: Centre for Contemporary Art, Derry, Derry, BT48 6RG
Live performance 7:00 - 9:00 pm The Centre for Contemporary Art Free (donations welcome) This live performance draws on Homi Bhabha's notion of the 'third space', where cultural meaning is negotiated rather than fixed, to explore the tensions between heritage and innovation, collective memory and individual expression. Fort Dunree, a site where military history intersects with contemporary art, serves as the starting point for Rebecca Strain and Martha McCulloch's 2023-24 body of work. This live performance emerges from that exploration, seeking a space between past and present, individual and society. Rebecca Strain is a visual artist, single mum, and eco-feminist, and lives with clinical depression, dyslexia, and anosmia.
