high concrete walls. It is located mainly
within the West Bank. As of April 2006 the length of the barrier as approved by the Israeli government was 703 kilometers (436 miles) long.

Billy’s Museum by Amanda Dunsmore
Amanda Dunsmore's work explores social and historical acts of preser vation. Billy Hull was the longest serving security prison officer (twenty-five years) at the notorious Maze/Long Kesh prison, situated outside Belfast, Northern Ireland. Against prison policy, Billy collected items relating to various individuals, incidents and occurrences. On his retirement Billy made a presentation, a museum, inside the
Maze, which was never seen by the public.

Resona, Stefan Cartwight
In his current Roaring Silence recitals
Stefan Car twright plays gongs to create
an ever-changing soundscape. The deep
resonance of the tones is felt as well as
heard.

 

DJ Curator
site07 brings together the Hub collective
DJ Curators selecting the subversive, the eclectic, the pioneering, the safe and risky sounds. The DJ Curators will
collaboratively fuse and blend classical,
funk, broken-beats, jazz, techno, reggae, soul and journey into the more
experimental side of electronic and folk
music. The DJ Curators explore the theme of peace through the medium of sounds laid down on vinyl. Spontaneous?, Yes, Preformulaic? No!
A must for vinyl and sound junkies.
