OUTREACH PROJECT INFORMATION

For over one hundred years the shipyards and docks of Belfast, and the associated heavy engineering works made a cacophony of sound resounding up Belfast Lough and the river Lagan. These sounds were proof of the success of business, the vibrancy of the city and its workers. In the past, the energy of industrial Belfast could always be heard. Today the ghostly spirit of old Belfast’s energy is shrouded in dereliction. The youth of today through the medium of photo and film have a sense of this energy but no idea of the sounds. This project attempted to tap into the energy of young people to recreate "The Sounds of Belfast" and bring its history to life again.
