'Orange Halls are associated with the Orange Order, but in reality are meeting places (both past and present) for various groups including religious and political organisations, musical bands, and the wider community. These halls are an example of diminishing material culture and are an outward-facing marker of a culture into which I was born but no longer necessarily subscribe to. Built with a singular purpose, they are emblematic of an exclusive, male, religious organisation increasingly irrelevant in a more multicultural, secular society.' (Words by Philip Arneill)

About the Artist

Philip Arneill is a Belfast-born writer, photographer and researcher. Creator of the Tokyo Jazz Joints audio-visual documentary project, his Tokyo Jazz Joints photographic monograph was published by Kehrer Verlag in July 2023 and is now in its third edition. His writing and photographic practice explore the illusory ideas of home and culture by examining insider-outsider dynamics and autoethnographic issues of place and identity, combining images with creative nonfiction and fiction texts.

A selected artist for Nuit De L'Année at Rencontres D’Arles 2024, images from his Flegs work were included in Belfast Exposed’s recent Now & Then: Part III exhibition showcasing Irish photographers. After the 2022 publication of Barred in PhotoIreland’s TLP Editions series, This is East Belfast was published in August 2024 as part of the same collection. His writing has been published in The Guardian, Sonder, Honest Ulsterman, and The Storms literary journals among others.
