Postmodernism and the Twelfth. In Moygashel, they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats
Manage episode 493593578 series 3465230
When the pictures emerged of the loyalist bonfire in Moygashel in Co Tyrone, most people were horrified at the migrant boat effigy at the top.
Politicians condemned it and called for action but others insisted it was in fact an act or ‘artistic protest’.
On Free State, Joe and Dion look at the celebrations around the Twelfth of July, not as the desperate acts of a lost people, but as an artistic installation.
Have we failed to understand the subversive power and artistic merit of Loyalism for generations? Or should we look at this artistic protest as a brutal sign of a community punching down as they search for people to blame?
