Exhibition, Showcase or Award – Good Relations Week

CELEBRATING LIFE – CREGGAN LIBRARY

A Literary Workshop and an Into the Light wall display. The Literary workshop will examine the power of reading in our everyday life through an exploration of the literature read, during the Pandemic, by the group in their Library Reading Room.

The group will choose words that illustrate how reading together has inspired, comforted, supported and enlightened them. The words and inspirational quotes will then be placed inside the sun’s rays of the wall display which will be supported,on either side of the image, by a bridge of books representing their partnership with Libraries NI.

During library hours.

Natural Connections Photographic Exhibition, Finaghy Library – 26th September

Belfast Exposed is delighted to partner with Translink on a photography competition to capture the ‘Natural Connections’ which has sustained, surrounded, supported and encouraged people and communities since 23 March 2020, the first day of lockdown.

This last year will leave a permanent memory on the lives of people around the world. A number of everyday life experiences have become an essential part of our wellbeing. The importance of nature in our lives, from a small flower in a garden to climbing a newly discovered hill, or just sitting on a beach listening to the waves, never before has the connection to nature become more crucial.

The exhibition can be viewed during library hours.
