Arts Exhibition: Taking Boys Seriously, Empowering Voices

This unique exhibition presents images and voices of boys and young men as they wish to be seen and heard.

The artwork is the result of a Taking Boys Seriously collaborative project involving St Joseph’s Boys’ School, Oakgrove Integrated College, Ulster University School of Art, Nerve Centre, and Translink.

As part of the project, Nerve Centre worked with the two schools to run filming and audio sessions, capturing authentic stories from the pupils. These portraits and recordings explore themes of belonging, community, school, the future, role models, strength, and what it means to be a boy today.

The exhibition is on display at the North West Transport Hub from 20 September – 3 October 2025.
