Creative Inclusion Showcase

Run by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council

Community Relations Forum will showcase artwork developed through its previous engagement with refugee and asylum-seeking women.

Community Relations Forum will showcase artwork developed through its previous engagement with refugee and asylum-seeking women.

The original project used collaborative artistic expression to explore themes of inclusion, identity and the lived experiences of newcomers, providing participants with an opportunity to share their experiences through a creative medium.

Building on this work, Community Relations Forum has secured support through the Rapid Response Fund to expand the initiative and facilitate engagement across different communities.

The showcase will invite attendees to contribute to a new collaborative artwork inspired by shared experiences, discussions and priorities.

This activity will create a practical connection between community dialogue and creative participation, demonstrating how support through the Rapid Response Fund can enable continued engagement, relationship building and longer-term community integration.
