The Clean Blue of Linen
Event Description

In collaboration with The Gaia Foundation’s campaign “We Feed The UK”, Belfast Exposed presents “The Clean Blue of Linen” by Yvette Monahan.

We Feed The UK is a nationwide environmental storytelling campaign from The Gaia Foundation. To disrupt the dominant narrative about farming, they have paired photographers and poets with the UK’s best custodians of soil, sea, and seed.

At Mallon Farm in County Tyrone, Helen Keys and Charlie are not just resurrecting the tradition of flax cultivation but doing so with an awe-inspiring resilience. Their ‘wee blue blossom’ is chemical-free, hand-harvested, retted in rainwater, scutched on a restored turbine, and woven into local supply chains.

Photographer Yvette Monahan’s year-long journey to capture the flax growing and production process at Mallon Farm has been a testament to the beauty and significance of this age-old tradition, bringing it to life through the seasons.

Gallery closed on Sunday and Monday.
