We are thrilled to host another edition of Holding Space in Belfast, part of a series of gatherings on art, displacement and mental health.

Join us for this free, in-person gathering bringing together artists, refugees, activists, organisers, creatives, and those working in health, wellbeing, and migrant justice.

Together, we’ll explore the role of art and creativity in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of refugees and asylum seekers.

The day will include guest speakers and small group discussions, offering space to reflect on good practice, share experiences, and explore both the opportunities and challenges of developing creative projects by and with newly arrived communities, with a focus on addressing mental health needs.

We’ll also consider the mental health support needed by creative practitioners working in these contexts, and reflect on the wider systemic barriers affecting wellbeing. The event will close with a community supper.

Please visit The MAC Belfast to book your spot.
