Connected by the theme of loss, the display reveals – through portraiture – the personal stories and experiences of those whose lives were impacted, and continue to be affected, by the Troubles, a 30-year period of conflict in Northern Ireland.
Painted between 2014 and 2015, the portraits are connected by each sitter’s shared experience of personal loss and speak to the ongoing impact of conflict on individuals, as well as wider communities in Northern Ireland and beyond.
Colin Davidson: Silent Testimony is on display in Room 14, Floor 3.
The sitters are:
John Gallagher
Flo O’Riordan
Mo Norton
Thomas O’Brien
Anna Cachart
Maureen Reid
Damien McNally
Walter Simons
Johnnie Proctor
Margaret Yeaman
Virtue Dixon
Jeff Smith
Paul Reilly
Mary Finnis
Jean Caldwell

The Tower of London is an ancient castle with a very large interior. We spent 5 hours visiting it with a Chinese audio guide. The British royal crown is stored here and it is really beautiful, but it is a pity that we cannot take photos of it. There are some free-roaming ravens raised in the castle, which are considered the castle&#39;s mascots and are quite interesting.
