The Inverness County Centre for the Arts is Pleased to announce a new exhibition: “When the Walls Come Tumbling Down: The Hidden History of Organism in Inverness.
In the summer of 2020, as the Shean Co-Op storage building in Inverness was being torn down a secret room was discovered. This room housed a hidden history of the Orange Order in Inverness. A collection of artifacts dating back to 1903 was uncovered which included ceremonial items, membership logbooks, meeting minutes, sashes, a union flag, and a 14-foot archway with the words “In God is My Trust” written across the top.
This exhibition shares some of these discovered items, these artifacts are blended with a series of photographs from Tim Brennan that were produced in response to what was brought to light from behind the walls of the hidden room.
Research for the exhibition was led and completed by Saint Mary’s University Professor Karley Kehoe and research assistant Kit Cowper. The Exhibition will officially open on November 26th at 2PM and will be on display until January 21st
