Services
We are an independent, non-profit organisation and registered charity situated in the Cathedral Quarter, Belfast.
Founded in 1983 by a group of local photographers as a challenge to media representation of Belfast's experience of conflict, our work continues to reflect a socially engaged ethos, while responding to contemporary currents in photography and politics further afield.
Belfast Exposed believe photography is for everyone, it is accessible, meaningful and has the ability to tell stories, allowing us to create dialogue and reflect upon our history, inform our present and inspire a positive future.
