Who Fears to Speak
Clodagh O’Leary is a photographer documenting the Irish republican tradition of internment bonfires in Derry. This photo series focuses on the experiences of young people from the areas of the Bogside and Creggan, exploring the politics shaping their lives and identities.
The republican symbol of the Easter Lily is woven throughout the publication. Abstracted into a topographical map, the Easter Lily begins to mirror some of the physical and ideological boundaries in Derry.
Two alternative half covers were created for the publication – a tricolour and a gold version – both adorned with the Lily and a map of Creggan. The creep and bind stitching have been intentionally left untrimmed. For the publication and exhibition launch, a series of promotional posters were also created.
Riso printing by Way Bad Press, with digital printing by Plus Print. The display typeface is Medieval Edition by Elias Hanzer. It’s supported by Founders Grotesk for text.
Who Fears to Speak is available from Clodagh O’Leary / 1eurofiddy.
