CALICO cloak NO. 2
Sligo, Ireland, 2025 - ongoing
Commissioned by Sligo County Council to celebrate the launch of the Sligo PEACEPLUS Co-designed Local Community Peace Action Plan.
---
In 2024, after becoming aware of The Red Dress project, Sligo County Council’s PEACEPLUS Team contacted Kirstie to explore potential for exhibiting it in Ireland. The vision of The Red Dress – exploring conflict, reconciliation and diversity through participation, capacity and culture – perfectly aligns with the aims and projects that will be delivered through Sligo PEACEPLUS.
As a result, The Red Dress will travel to Sligo’s City Hall as part of celebrations to launch the Sligo PEACEPLUS Co-designed Local Community Peace Action Plan in May 2025 which will also mark the introduction of Calico Cloak No. 2 to local communities. A diverse range of communities will then work on creating a PEACEPLUS Cloak for County Sligo.
The PEACEPLUS Programme is a funding partnership between the European Union, the Governments of the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the Northern Ireland Executive and managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
