Inspiring Women through the Art of Photography & Storytelling Exhibition in Cookstown

Over a period of 14 weeks, a group of 8 women from Cookstown of all ages and from various diverse backgrounds, came together to learn photography. The project was about much more than merely taking photographs, it involved empowerment, sharing experiences, storytelling, building confidence, writing
journals and learning through art. Connections were made and friendships were formed.

This was an individual project as well as a group project.

On Wednesday 2oth September 2023 (6-9pm) the book will be exhibited and launched in the Hub, Cookstown.

The event will be compered by Tim McGarry.

Shared Spaces Photo Exhibition

The Shared Spaces Project exhibition presents photographs and reflections from young people aged 16-18 who live in or grew up in Belfast. It tells us how public spaces, such as restaurants, parks, streets or buses, are viewed and how they shape young peoples’ experiences of community relations in the City. Featuring discussion with the young people and the researchers who interviewed them, the exhibition will help us take stock of how young people in Belfast view progress made toward good relations, stimulating thinking on remaining challenges.

The exhibition is being held at The Crumlin Road Gaol on the UN International Day of Peace as part of the ‘Our Lives, Our Legacy’ event organised by Springboard Opportunities. The event includes a youth -led immersive exhibition and performance that will explore the legacy of the Good Friday Agreement and share young people’s hopes for the future.

Inclusive Global Histories Trail

The Inclusive Global Histories exhibition is the start of Ulster Museum’s journey into decolonisation, diversity and inclusion.

Across Ulster Museum, new labels are considering our history, nature and art galleries through an inclusive global lens. These interpretations include multiple perspectives and encourage dialogue. These new interpretive panels are part of the Inclusive Global Histories exhibition located within the History Galleries.

More information on specific objects can be seen via the Ulster Museum website and social media channels, as featured objects from the World History collection have been selected from each of the continents.

A new interpretive guide to decolonising our collections is available online.

Film as Art: Brian Desmond Hurst exhibition
