To celebrate Good Relations Week 2021 ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ for Young People, our resident @creatingaspace have teamed up with @allnationsbelfast to create a project called "How They See Us'.

'How They See Us' is a project that investigates how people from different backgrounds navigate their lives.

The project explores how people think society sees them as an individual, and what labels and stereotypes have been placed upon them based on how they look, their race, their ethnicity or where they are "from".

In this season, we have interviewed 5 amazing individuals from different cultural backgrounds, who shared their experiences of what it is like being a person of colour in NI and what their experiences have been like growing up here.

We talked about the struggles of navigating identity, representation, grief, belonging, race, discrimination and self-love & acceptance.

For this event, we will be having a panel discussion with some of the people that took part in the project.
We will be asking them about
- How they felt about sharing their story
- What they have learned about themselves throughout this project
- How they see their future

Stay tuned for the release of the full project!

Grab your ticket via @creatingaspace's link in bio!

This project is funded by Community Relations Council.

Lovely lunch time walk by the river, visiting Belfast's iconic Big Fish! Just a stones throw from our Cotton Court and Hill Street Studios.

Did you know that the Big Fish, otherwise know as the 'The Salmon of Knowledge' was created by John Kindness and features lots of ceramic tiles which describe different scenes from Belfast's history.

My Block celebrates and showcases independent businesses & culture and is supported by @weareinnovateuk

There are over 100 Belfast businesses already on the platform and they are looking forward to including more from the rest of NI too in the coming months. If this platform sounds up your street, get in touch!

This special short film by Simon Mills captures 3 great independent businesses in Belfast: American Madness (Vintage & Fashion), Murphy & Bailey (Pet Store & Coffees) & FRUIT Shop (Food & Culture) They were warm, friendly and invited the My Block team in to their spaces so they could find out more about their businesses.

They hope over the coming months to feature a wide range of businesses!

Thanks to Simon for this beautiful film.
