EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Clodagh Kilcoyne, we witness the fervor and excitement of the Twelfth of July celebrations in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Against the backdrop of an urban city at night, a child's silhouette emerges as they gleefully throw bits of wood onto a towering bonfire. The flames dance with intensity, casting an eerie glow that illuminates their unrecognizable figure. This image captures not only the dangerous beauty of fire but also reflects a deeply rooted cultural tradition and anniversary celebration. The Twelfth of July is a significant date for members of Loyalist Orders who gather to honor their heritage and commemorate historical events. The creative use of darkness adds an air of mystery to this ritualistic scene, emphasizing the importance placed on preserving traditions passed down through generations. As smoke billows into the sky, it symbolizes both unity and resilience within this community. Through this photograph, we are reminded that culture holds immense power in shaping our identities and connecting us to our roots. It serves as a testament to how people come together to celebrate shared values despite differences or challenges faced.
