Silent Voices (<em>collection</em>)
Description
An account of the resource
"Silent Voices is a collection of personal stories. The contributors are people who have in some way been affected by Partition or the ‘Troubles’ in Ireland or by conflict elsewhere in the world. All have a specific Sligo connection although the stories are not all set in Sligo. The stories reflect the people who told them and it is their own voice and words that you read in this book. The stories were told to an interviewer and later edited by that interviewer in collaboration with the storyteller. What you read here is the final distillation from that process." (from the Preface of 'Silent Voices').

An account of the resource
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.<br /> 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).

Introduction
I have explained my involvement in the Petals of Hope project to many people over the
past fifteen years. I would tell them how we gathered up all the flowers that were laid
on the streets of the town to honour the grief caused by the bomb on August 15, 1998.
I would explain how these were dried and made into paper and fashioned by school
children into art works.
As I would start to talk, the usual reaction, especially of those who live in Northern Ireland,
would be to interrupt me, to tell me where they were that day, when they heard about the
bomb.
Some have even recalled the finer details, the clothes they were wearing or who they
were with.
“� hen I heard about the bomb, I was in the caravan...” “When I heard about the
W
bomb, I was in the garage...” “ When I heard about the bomb, I was going to my
sister’s...” “I was driving when I heard about the bomb...”
I have heard this so frequently, that I almost anticipate this reaction, allow them the
chance to tell me, for it shows their connection with the disaster and how much of a
shock it was for them.
Over this past eight months or so, when we have been back in Omagh working on the
most recent phase of the experience, I’ve been conscious of a change in the response. I
was quite taken aback the first few times I heard it.
“�When I felt the bomb, I was in my friend’s house...” “When I felt the bomb, I was in the
office...” “When I felt the bomb...”
This change from “hearing about the bomb” to “feeling the bomb” is significant because
it indicates how widely the impact had extended. The vibration of the destruction
resounded far beyond the devastatingly physical impact on the immediate, out to
the listener or the stranger who lived miles away. The immeasurable shock and pain
stretched beyond this land. Their echo returned to Omagh in heartfelt sympathy and love,
demonstrated in the sending of flowers, gentle words, prayers spoken. Without these, the
Petals of Hope, Rays of Light project could not have happened.
Malachi O’Doherty and I have been in Omagh, having conversations with people who
were involved in one aspect or another of the original project who responded to a public
invitation to meet. As you will hear when you listen to their stories, some had left flowers, or
had cleared them away as part of their council job, some took part in the workshops of the
arts project through their school or as a member of the Carrickmore sewing group. Others
in bereaved families received pictures. We acknowledge that many, for their own reasons,
have decided that their involvement now stays within those early days of 1998-99. We
5
�respect their silence but all are invited to listen to these conversations or read the collection
of experiences.
One fundamental theme shines through both phases of this creative endeavour and may
explain why this tactile process has worked, if it has. In a simple play technique, we mixed
mulch and pulp with delicate flowers, into basins of water, piece by piece, practising the
ritual of rhythmic movement. This allowed us to find feeling in our hands and our hearts,
as our heads tried, or maybe stopped trying, to make sense for a while.
By working alone or in small groups, in silence and humility, without questions, hope
started to appear and like “a sea-change”, we were changed. The result has given a
different sense of worth in this memorial.
One of the contributors describes Omagh as a “running sore” and there are those who
still grieve and know great loss. Yet there has been much said about how the people of
Omagh rallied together, supported and cared for each other, being gentle when that
was needed and this capacity is still within their community.
I originally trained as weaver and naturally look for patterns in shapes and colours.
There are many shapes and colours in these stories. Collectively, they display an array
of sometimes darker shades, touching on extreme pain while others are more tactile,
showing depth of dignity and humanity. Beauty is evident in all, including the most
painful, and it wasn’t our place to exclude them for this reason; it is more important to
share them.
It continues to be an amazing privilege to be present alongside some of those who were
affected by such an atrocity. Their strength inspires me and has taught me more than I
can express.
These and more audio-digital stories can be found at www.omaghpetals.blogspot.co.uk

�Malachi O’Doherty
I didn’t know about Petals of Hope. That simple fact shocks me, now that I am familiar
with it. At the time of the Omagh bomb I was thinking like a journalist about the horrific
details and the political implications. Mostly, I was stunned. We had lived with the lazy
and unfounded understanding that a bomb in the street will rarely kill more than a couple
of people, will often kill nobody.
Omagh seemed to tell us that, for all our decades of experience, we really didn’t know
bombs at all.
There had been other projects for peace making and healing, some of them a bit twee
or self important, some of them secret, involving contacts and intermediaries, relying on
the goodwill of people who had often exercised bad will.
What was special about Petals of Hope was that it did not come out of an organisation
or community group, a think tank or a committee; no long period of devising and fund
raising had preceded it.
It arose from a simple question, heard on the radio. What are they going to do with all
those flowers?
Carole Kane had an idea and she called the Omagh District Council Arts and Culture
Officer, Frank Sweeney and told him she could make some of the flowers into paper and
make a nice art work, a tribute to the grief of the town.
Sweeney responded with a bigger idea still; turn all of them into paper, make lots of
pictures, we’ll give you everything you need; we’ll get children out of school to help you.
And, as Boris Pinto says, sometimes just doing something is better than trying to say
anything, because words are not adequate. Boris was one of the children who helped.
He is now a forensic psychiatrist.
Elaine Gallagher, who also helped, has since worked in art therapy.
Both were prompted towards their vocation by the experience of Petals of Hope, a project
that said nothing, when nothing could be said.
For the past few months I have been going to Omagh with Carole and meeting people
who were involved in Petals of Hope, remembering the project and the parts they played,
reflecting on what it meant to them.
What it means to me is a reminder that sometimes we miss a big story in the margins of
a bigger one. Petals of Hope, in a region in which many have laboured and paid out to
develop peace making and reconciliation, is a reminder that sometimes it just happens,
because someone has a good idea and gets on with it.

�The photographs featuring the workshops and paper-making process
have been taken by Carole Kane. All audio recordings and the other
photographic images in this book and the digital stories, have been
recorded and captured by Malachi O’Doherty. I’d like to thank Malachi for
his technical expertise, insights and commitment which have extended far
beyond the original plans for this phase of the project.
Both phases of this creative process have been steered through a spirit of
presence, gentleness, listening and healing. We would like to thank all who
have shared their thoughts, experiences and reflections of the Petals of
Hope project and Omagh Bomb of 1998. Your conversations have made
this encounter unique and possible. We are grateful for your contributions.
Special thanks is given to Professor John Paul Lederach, David Bolton and
others, whose conversations and timely words have directly encouraged us
to proceed with and supported us during the few months of this project.
Acknowledgment goes to the Workers’ Educational Association for initiating
this phase of the project and Libraries NI for accommodating this learning
experience and allowing us to connect with the Omagh Bomb Archive.
The financial support is greatly appreciated from the Victims and Survivors
Service and Omagh District Council.

�Personal Accounts from Northern Ireland's Troubles
Most people are unaware of the true consequences of the kind of violence that
Northern Ireland has experienced over the last thirty years. The language used
by the media in phrases such as collateral damage, and friendly fire, conspires
to sanitise and conceal the awful, gory and horrifying reality of the impact of
war on the lives of ordinary people.
Based on in-depth interviews and survey work conducted by the pioneering
The Cost of the Troubles Study, this collection represents the first in-depth
evidence of personal loss in Northern Ireland during the conflict. The events
described in this book are told from the perspectives of interviewees drawn
from varied backgrounds and who have a range of experiences of the conflict.
The heartbreaking and unbearable reality for all is that their loss is
irretrievable. No one can repair the damage: nothing can compensate.
At a time when violence is increasingly presented as entertainment,
gun-cultures proliferate and armed conflicts can escalate seemingly overnight,
this collection provides a necessary understanding of the cost of violence.
Uncomfortable, painful, shaming and heart-breaking as it may be to read
these accounts, the experiences contained in them, argue the editors, must
be known, acknowledged and available to a wider public. Only then can the
various truths about the past and the various burdens the past has produced
be more evenly distributed amongst us.
Marie Smyth is a Research Fellow attached to INCORE, the Initiative on
Conflict Resolution and Ethnicity, University of Ulster and the United Nations
University, and Project Director of The Cost of the Troubles Study.
Marie-There se Fay is the Research Officer with The Cost of the Troubles
Study in Belfast. They are both coauthors of Northern Ireland's Troubles
(Piuto Press 1998).

�'Perceptions begins to confront language, history and topography because it enables us to talk to
rather than at each other by acclaiming the richness in diversity.'
Professor Paul Arthur, Department of Politics, University of Ulster.
War is an ever-present feature of human history. Most countries have at some stage experienced
struggles between different cultures contained within their boundaries, and invariably the opposing
factions have each perceived their own actions to be just. In few places has this been more pronounced
than Ireland, where the most recent phase of conflict, simply known as the troubles, is the longest
running dispute of its kind and has so far resisted all attempts at resolution. It has always involved
a multi-faceted and complex conflict of mindsets and cultures: Nationalist/Unionist; Protestant/
Catholic; Irish/British; Loyalist/Republican, and their many subdivisions.
Perceptions: Cultures in Conflict documents the experiences, beliefs, viewpoints and aspirations
of a representative collection of people from Derry closely involved with the latest phase of the
troubles in the city and throughout Northern Ireland. Based around a series of personal interviews
conducted between September 1995 and April 1996, it covers the period from the origins of the
troubles in the civil rights agitation of the 1960s, through almost three decades of violence, up to
the ceasefires of 1994 and beyond.
In a period of increased tension and uncertainty in the North, Perceptions gives a valuable
insight into the hearts and minds of a cross section of its inhabitants; what they think of the past,
what they want for the future, and how they view each other.
Includes contributions from John Hume, Martin Me Guinness, Gregory Campbe/1, Glen Barr,
Nell McCafferty, Marlene Jefferson, Eamonn McCann and David Nicho/1.
