Join Household for a guided walk of the Cregagh Road in East Belfast, where the Belfast-based art organisation has commissioned artist Jan McCullough to create a temporary artwork that responds to untold acts and histories of labour, care and maintenance.
We will visit Jan McCullough’s new artwork, hear about the AE McAlpine photographic archive that inspired it and the heritage of the area, and explore how the legacies of labour, manufacturing and trade in East Belfast have influenced the social fabric and contemporary landscape of this neighbourhood. During the walk, we will stop at several local businesses where artworks made by local schoolchildren are displayed and refreshments will be served.
This event is made possible through funding provided by Belfast City Council, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, and the Imagine! Belfast Festival of Ideas & Politics.
Please meet at Jean’s Wool shop, 26 Cregagh Road at 1:25 PM, and wear weather appropriate clothing as this is an outdoor event.
