“Petals of Hope”
Artistic responses to the Omagh Bomb

Conversations with Carole Kane and Malachi O’Doherty

�Molly Montague
“Everyone’s covering some heartbreak.”
Coming into Omagh, you’re faced with the awfulness of what happened and I suppose
you are just trying to, maybe to some extent escape from it. Although it was difﬁcult in
doing that because I would have known one of the ladies who was killed, Mary Grimes.
But I suppose, no matter who you look at, everyone’s covering some heartbreak. When
you do come into Omagh, that is one of the things that comes into your head and even
people who have come visiting us from say England or Scotland, they come into Omagh
to see the Garden of Remembrance and just to see Omagh because of what has
happened.
I don’t like the garden. What has that modern structure to do with the kind of people that
we are?
You know for example, the chat now about Seamus Heaney is how he just uses normal
language of the everyday people and he doesn’t take it away “up there” and you feel
that they didn’t do what was acceptable to the ordinary people, they had to take it away
“up there’, that was beyond the people.

                <text>The Remembering 'Petals of Hope' project (2013-14) produced a collection of 15 audio visual and 23 written stories related to the Omagh Bomb (15 August 1998). The work involved in conducting the interviews and producing the recordings was carried out by Carole Kane and Malachi O'Doherty.&lt;br /&gt; Carole Kane, a freelance artist / community arts facilitator, was involved in the original 'Petals of Hope' project (1998-99) in association with Omagh District Council, which, with the assistance of children from Omagh, transformed floral tributes left at the scene of the bomb into handmade paper and art work. This resulted in an exhibition in the spring and summer of 1999 and the publication of the exhibition catalogue entitled 'Petals of Hope' (1999).</text>
