First Fortnight Festival with Taqralik Partridge & Leslie Kachena McCue

Northern Ireland

From: January 6th 2026

First Fortnight celebrates the arts as a powerful catalyst for sparking unscripted conversations around mental ill health and aspires to make the beginning of each year synonymous with mental health awareness, actively challenging societal prejudices, and eradicating the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health.

This year’s lineup includes renowned Inuit and First Nations artists Taqralik Partridge, Melissa Shaginoff (USA) and Leslie Kachena McCue. Expect intimate readings, experimental folk textures and poetic moments that will bring the room together.
