Living Library

Run by Belfast City

Living Library is an interactive experience where people become "living books", sharing their real-life stories and experiences through open conversations.

Rather than borrow a book, you borrow a person for a 20 minute, one to one conversation, enabling you to see the world through different perspectives.

Engaging, thought-provoking, and memorable, it creates meaningful conversations that inspire understanding, and respect.

Booking essential

Photography Exhibition - 'Acts of Becoming' by Rosy Martin

Martin’s work challenges what it means to become visible on one’s own terms. Her photographs do not present identity as settled or singular, instead, they reveal the self as layered, contradictory and continually changing.
