We work and play at the point of change exploring new ways to think and act in our city.
We are a platform for discussion, education and action centred on the issues of climate breakdown. We are driven by creative voices focused on innovative use of technology and citizen science to break through the status quo and consider new ways of living more – connected, healthy, sustainable, and resilient lives – in a rapidly changing environment.
The quality of our thinking today will define the reality of tomorrow.
It is time to tell ourselves a new story. One that calls on our creativity, compassion and connection to each other, that welcomes different thinkers together to find a new path. Facing challenges with curiosity and creativity we can choose opportunity over chaos.
Bringing together unlikely partners makes us stronger.
Being part of a large conversation that broadens the scope of what is possible allows more voices to join and more interesting outcomes to be explored.
Creative thinkers change how we see things.
Artistic endeavour gives us permission to break the rules, to look at things from a different viewpoint, challenge the norm and step into the unknown before it is laid out.
How can we turn a neglected empty site in the centre of Belfast into a thriving space for growing food, creating art, connecting people and showing what’s possible.
Bring life to an
urban desert
Brink! are demonstrating how creativity and greening can bring life an urban desert as the first chapter of the Belfast Story for this site.
Brink! have brought a derelict site to life, at the corner of Union Street and Kent Street, at the end of Royal Avenue, in the heart of Belfast City Centre.
The space has been cleared to make way for Belfast Stories, a high-profile visitor centre that will celebrate the narrative of this city.
.
Brink! are working with communities from across Belfast with a programme of work and events across 2024/25. As a meanwhile solution we are creating a space that can demonstrate what can happen when we look at our city centre differently – how we can connect with it, make it grow, find space to play, experiment and educate.
Art & Projects
From nature-based art to data & digital, from all-island projects to city-centre spaces, from growing to making.
