T22-094ENV PEACE IV Riverine Community Park Borderlines Project

Tender description

This tender, known as Borderlines Project, is for the development and delivery of a cross-community and cross-border programme and will provide opportunities for local communities to contribute creatively to the Riverine Community Park site content in the Strabane/Lifford area, official opening and initial months of programming. The project will work with a range of groups on collective projects to create physical community artwork pieces to be installed on the site of the Riverine Community Park. Artwork will be specific to the history and culture of the area, site and diverse local identities. The project will also feature a cultural showcase for the launch. The showcase will consist of 3 themes, including verbal arts, visual arts and performing arts, to explore the history, issues, migration and identity relevant to the site. The objective of the programme for deliverers is to bring communities together and use the creative arts for community and voluntary groups to demonstrate the characteristics of the site from different perspectives. The Riverine Community Park Project is funded by the SEUPB PEACE IV Programme 2014–2020 as a shared space capital development together with the Dept. for Communities (NI) and the Dept. for Communities and Rural Development (ROI). Donegal County Council (DCC) are the Lead Partner for the Project while Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) act as Project Partner. The Borderlines Project will work with a range of groups to both create physical community artwork on the Riverine site and create a cultural showcase for the launch of the project. The artwork will relate to the history and culture of the area, site and diverse local identities. The showcase, on the other hand, will focus on the 3 themes of verbal arts, visual arts and performing arts to explore the issues and differences of the locality.
