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.

The Ogham Grove invites the public to explore our relationship with our native woodland and environment through a totally innovative and spectacular artwork. Taking inspiration from the Celtic Ogham Tree Alphabet a monumental, immersive sculpture will be created within Writer’s Square as the centrepiece to a trail of cryptic markers distributed throughout the Cathedral Quarter.
Culture Night Belfast has evolved. The last 18 months have presented an opportunity to reflect upon the event, what it stands for, what works and what doesn’t, and to think about how it moves forward in the coming years. For 2021 we have had a radical rethink and are presenting our first ever commission The Ogham Grove.
This major installation is free and open to all and aims to give everyone access to a nature-inspired environment.

Counterpart is a major new art installation on the exterior of the Ulster Museum in Belfast, bringing attention to prevalent issues in society through a unique shared space that is open and accessible to all.
The exterior of the building will transform into a canvas for acclaimed street artist Joe Caslin and Counterpart, a piece of work inspired by workshops with the public from across Northern Ireland, that reflects on issues from our past, our present and our future. The giant artwork is a talking point and a beacon for addressing difficult issues and igniting discussion. Placed on the exterior of the Ulster Museum, the artwork will be highly visible and accessible by all.
The project was delivered by National Museums NI as part of the Making the Future project, funded by the PEACE IV programme.
