A major photographic exhi-bition, tracing the expansive influence of the Columban Monastic Movement .
The reach and influence of St Columba is immense, not just in an Irish and UK con-text, but also in a European context; and some scholars would argue in a worldwide context due to the great mo-nastic centres of learning.
The Playhouse in conjunc-tion with Derry~Londonder-ry born author/humanitarian and NOKIA Ambassador, Don Mullan, wish to create a photographic exhibition that links Derry~Londonderry with the monasteries and places across Ireland associ-ated with the saint, as well as the reach of his influence throughout the world.St Columba
