Cat Wire Fence and Corrugated Iron
In 2013, the Department of Justice embarked on a plan to improve community relations and build a united and shared society in Northern Ireland. One of the key headlines was their commitment to have reduced and removed all interface barriers by 2023.
Now 12 years after this initial plan was proposed, although some have been reduced in their ferocity, many of these structures remain anchored to the land, with some still growing.
Cat Wire Fence and Corrugated Iron, focuses on Belfast, where more than 20 miles of peace lines still remain. More specifically examining; how these structures remain a permanent fixture in the lives of those living beside them, the department of justices' approach to removing them, and the defensive planning of interface areas.
