About the Project

Throughout the summer of 2021, members of the public had the opportunity to work alongside artist Joe Caslin to explore the world of street art and examine how political division is represented in contemporary works.

Inspired by their contributions, Joe developed a site-specific artwork for the Ulster Museum, Belfast that transformed the exterior of the building and gave a voice to the people.

It’s a message that speaks to the core value of the Making the Future project — a project facilitating conversations about the past, present and future in Northern Ireland.
