Belfast City Council Tools For Togetherness

Tools for Togetherness is a new initiative led by , grounded in the principles of the sharing economy. The project explores new approaches to commissioning public art.

At its core is the ambition to establish a growing Library of Interventions: a curated collection of artist-designed works that can be loaned, shared, and activated by citizens across Belfast.

The first three commissions reflect a breadth of scale and thinking. A collaboration between the Irish Architecture Foundation and Ardmackle Architects proposes a pop-up cinema that reimagines public gatherings. A second commission with artist Phillip McCrilly explores the ritual of eating together. The third project with Robin Price, explores a digitally augmented ping-pong table, which is developed to be open source to allow future users to create their own games. Transforming everyday play into an interactive, civic experience.

Join the artists, at the Belfast Stories Building, for an insight into their design process, featuring a short presentation and discussion.
