🚨 New Book Launch Event: Truth Be Told: Journalism & Poetry 🚨
Next Thursday (Oct 15th) Sam McBride and Angela Graham will be in conversation discussing fact and fantasy; rhyme and reason – can there be common ground between journalism and poetry?
Journalism and poetry are seldom considered together yet both use words to access the reader’s interior life. How does each go about that task and can they learn from one another? In the service of truth, what is the role of the imagination for the poet and the journalist?
Angela Graham’s poetry collection ‘EXPOSURE: war, media & democracy’ centres on the role of the imagination, opened by journalism and photojournalism, especially in coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine; the Israel/Gaza war and conflict within democracies, including our own.
Join us at Belfast Exposed for this Book Launch and In Conversation event on 6:00pm, Thursday 15th October. You can book your free ticket via our website, but hurry, spots are going fast!
Sam McBride is Northern Ireland Editor of the Belfast Telegraph and the Sunday Independent, Northern Ireland Correspondent for The Economist, and winner of multiple awards.
Angela Graham’s award-winning career (Foreign-language Oscars entrant, BAFTA Cymru Awards et al) has been spent with the moving image, as a documentary maker, a producer in TV and feature film and a university tutor in documentary practice. She is also a poet. Exposure: war, media, democracy (Culture & Democracy Press) is her third collection and is available in our store.

🦋 DON’T MISS THIS EVENT - 10.10.26 📸
This coming Saturday, which is also World Mental Health Day, we are holding a therapeutic photography workshop as part of the @niscifest at @mountstewartnt
Open to ages 14+ but recommended for anyone looking an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and nurture your own sense of wellbeing.
Suitable for all experience levels, from complete beginners using a smartphone to experienced photographers with a digital camera, this workshop focuses on the therapeutic benefits of photography rather than achieving technically perfect images.
The majority of this workshop will take place outdoors so please dress accordingly. Places are limited so please secure your spot via the NI Science Festival website.
This ticketed activity is one element of the wider Shorelife Celebration of the NI Science Festival. Overall the event runs from 10am to 5pm with lots of free and pre-bookable activities to enjoy.

📸 MEET THE ARTIST 📸
Join us this evening (Thursday) for the launch of ‘Acts of Becoming’, a solo exhibition by the renowned artist Rosy Martin, who will be in attendance.
Martin’s work challenges what it means to become visible on one’s own terms. Across more than four decades, she has used photography, performance, self-portraiture, still life and re-enactment in phototherapy. It questions how identities are formed, represented and remembered. Her photographs do not present identity as settled or singular, instead, they reveal the self as layered, contradictory and continually changing.
At the core of Martin’s practice is a belief that dominant female representation needs to be challenged and remade. By entering the image herself, she opens its meaning and creates new ways of seeing and being.
Martin’s work has particular resonance at Belfast Exposed. The organisation began from an understanding that photography participates in public life: images can reinforce dominant accounts, but they can also allow people to represent their own experience. Martin’s practice carries that question into the intimate territories of the body, the family and the home. Her photographs connect private distress to the social structures that shape it, including patriarchy, heteronormativity, class, medical authority and ageism.
Acts of Becoming presents Martin’s practice as an evolving body of work rather than a retrospective search for a single authentic self. Her images hold contradiction without resolving it.
Rosy’s show runs from October 2nd until December 19th, you are invited to join us for the official launch on Thursday, 1st October as part of Late Night Art between 6-9pm.
30 Sep 2026
Unsure exactly where September went, we are excited for a new month and two new shows to add to our Autumn programme for visitors to enjoy.
Joining Rosalind Lowry as her show enters its second month, will be Rosy Martin in Gallery I with her work ‘Acts of Becoming’ and the group show ‘Tapestry of Life’ in the Studio space.
Both shows will launch as part of Late Night Art this Thursday but Rosalind’s ‘Borrowed Land’ can still be seen during regular opening hours (Tues-Sat, 11-5), with access via the side door Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
