free walking tours- playground city

Free walking tour for children 4-10 on MOnday 25 May starting at Ps2 lead by artists Lisa Malone and Sinead Bhreathnach Cashell.

I called in to Ps2 last night to see there new exhibition city supplements. I really like the craziness that it has inspired with a number of young artists taking on the challenge to look a new at the Cathedral quarter. The videos and maps have a different take on the area and it's really nice to see the artists challanged to look at the area in a different way. As someone who is around the area quite alot I particularly liked the videos of the shop keepers telling little stories about how they came to be there I think it gives a very contemporary slant on Belfast and captures something about the shifting face of the city in a time of change. It would be great to see it as a longer documentary. Interesting to see inside the "Buffs" building was never quite sure what was going on in there.

The thing about the gallery is that your never really sure if its open or not but times are:

Mon to Sat 12-6 Sun 10-4 just knock on the window to get in. Then put in your diary 5 June for the walking tour of Kieth Winter- 6pm title future city he of megawab it will be well worth the time spent having a dander with him.
