In Conversation: Christopher Steenson & Brian Lacey
On the occasion of All I see is the present (https://www.ccadld.org/exhibitions/concerning-dragons-teeth), CCA Derry~Londonderry hosted an In Conversation between Artist Christopher Steenson and Historian Dr Brian Lacey moderated by CCA Director Catherine Hemelryk. The conversation took place on Saturday 20 June 2026 as part of Heritage Month across Derry City & Strabane District.
About the speakers:
With a practice that spans sound, lens-based media, text and digital systems, Christopher Steenson’s work bridges historical and speculative narratives to interrogate the politics of time, environment and more-than-human-relations. In approaching these concerns, he seeks to make work through which we can ‘listen across tenses’. Recent solo exhibitions include: They haven’t gone away you know, mother’s tankstation, Dublin (2025); Breath Variations, Flat Time House, London (2023); and Soft Rains Will Come, VISUAL, Carlow (2022).
Brian Lacey is an archaeologist and historian, former university lecturer, museum director and head of the Discovery Programme (archeological research institution). He is the author of around fifteen books and many research papers and his latest
book is entitled Cenél nEógain and the Donegal Kingdoms.
