SUMMARY:Kinship of Difference :: Irish Linen Centre\, Lisburn
DESCRIPTION:The Lisburn Linen Museum will be the venue for Kinship of Difference\, a special evening\ncelebrating the history and future relevance of the linen industry\, produced by\nARTSAWONDER in association with THE RESURGAM TRUST and hosted by Tommy Sands.\nThis unique event\, recorded for NTV’s Northern Visions\, will bring together a gathering of\npeople from all aspects of linen-making—from flax pullers to weavers\, artists to\nacademics—who will share conversations and songs about how this ancient industry has\nshaped communities in the past and how it may still play a vital role in the future.\nAttendees will learn why linen has been considered precious since biblical times and hear\nhow it has both set people apart and brought them together again. One special guest will\nshare the family’s extraordinary journey—expelled from France for being Protestant and\nlater from Dromore for being Roman Catholic—reflecting on where this history of faith\,\nwork\, and nostalgia has led them today. \nThe event will delve into the importance of linen in Ireland’s history\, especially in Lisburn\nand Ravensdale\, as well as the present-day value of flax\, known as ‘the blue gold’ in France.\nDiscussions will cover the engagement of different communities with the linen trade\, the\nrealities of hard work and low pay\, and how linen-related words have made their way into\nour everyday language. The environmental relevance of linen in today’s world will also be\nexplored. \nAmong Tommy’s guests\, associated with the Linen Making World will be:\nBrona McVittie\, (Harpist and composer)\nCiaran Mussen\, (Mill heritage and singer)\nNorma Coulter from Men’s and Hen’s Shed\, (her family were all in the Mill\, she was\nencouraged not to work in it!!)\nNorman Dalzell from HAG (Heritage Advisory Group) linked to Hilden Mill\nDon Johnstone\, (Linen Historian)\,\nStaff Members from The Irish Linen Centre Lisburn Museum.
