Past Projects
Cattle Battle!
Cattle Battle is a game exploring life in early Medieval Ireland and was co-created by a group from Carrickfergus and Carrickfergus Museum. Lisa facilitated this through Our Places, Our Pasts, Our Perspectives project hosted by The Corrymeela Community and made possible thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The group decided to tell a previously under-told story of the Carrickfergus area before the Norman Invasion in 1176, researching food, job-roles, family life and the early church and communicating their learning through this fabulous game.
The Louis MacNeice Literary Festival
In her role as Creative Producer in Positive Carrickfergus, Lisa delivered five events over three days celebrating the link between Carrickfergus and the renowned poet. To read more about it visit Positive Carrickfergus website here.
Pirates of Carrickfergus!
Another Positive Carrickfergus Project, Lisa collaborated with Play Make Believe to co-design a pirate themed fun day with local families. Inspired by French Privateers running havoc in Carrickfergus for a week in 1760, the team brought heritage fun, interactive drama, arts and crafts and a sensory space to Carrickfergus Town Hall and surrounding streets.
Pandemics Past and Present
While working at EastSide Partnership, Lisa collaborated with the Ulster Museum to faciliatate a contemporary collecting project throughout COVID-19 lockdowns. The group from east Belfast explored their own experiences as well as reflecting on how societies of the past dealt with public health crises. To find out more about this project, you can read Lisa's co-authored paper with David Farrell-Banks here.
The Newtownards Road Heritage Trail
A departure for Lisa, this project was a solo run during her time at EastSide Partnership. COVID-19 meant limited contact with community groups but presented the opportunity to pull place-based research together into a trail guide for people wanting to explore the historic road.
EastSide Lives
This EastSide Partnership project, funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund, brought a group of passionate people together to research interesting 'ordinary' people from the past. The group researched lesser-known people from east Belfast and created a trail using street art and interpretation to mark significant places in the lives of their research subjects.
