She will be joined by artists Nigel Rolfe who has been working between the two islands since the late 1970s, Helena Walsh, co-founder of the direct-action feminist performance group Speaking of I.M.E.L.D.A. (Ireland Making England the Legal Destination for Abortion), and John Byrne who will revisit his Border Interpretative Centre from 2000 and other works addressing the relationships connecting Ireland and the UK.
