ALTHOUGH physically closed to the public due to the lockdown, Belfast Exposed has a number of projects on the go at the moment, including 'Home Life' in which people are invited to share photographs documenting their lives at home during isolation.

"We are sharing our favourites every day, and we will be producing an exhibition in our gallery later in the year to showcase the project," a spokesman for the photo gallery said.

"These are challenging times with Northern Ireland experiencing a different type of trauma that is anticipated to have lasting impacts; therefore, anything we can do to support employee’s mental health and well-being through fun and creative activities is a positive action," he added, referencing the gallery's 'Well-being Through Photography' staff engagement programme, aimed at businesses to support staff working from home.

The gallery is continuing to deliver its community engagement programme through the use of online teaching, digital content, and low-tech communication, while also providing free daily activities for children and young adults to support families and communities aiming to inspire, engage and provide some fun.
