“I’d like to write my life story.” ‘My Life With Them’ is the non-linear autobiography of Larry MacAree. His book is filled with rich anecdotes about Belfast from the late 1960s onward through the eyes of a curious and imaginative individual. Larry’s book is illustrated with a selection of his own drawings as well as remarkable analogue photographs collected by Larry through the years. Larry has been able to make his dream come true with the support of a Chris Ledger Legacy Award funded by Unlimited and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

Larry MacAree is learning disabled artist living in the L’Arche Community in Belfast. He recently completed a residency at PS Squared, Belfast (2022) and has exhibited in several group shows in Belfast.

Charys Wilson – Half Light

The work is inspired in part by the practice of forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku: a Japanese tradition of spending quiet, mindful time among trees. Research shows that this kind of intentional time in nature can reduce stress, improve mood, and even boost the immune system.
For many of us this kind of immersive experience can feel out of reach, especially during the colder months or in urban environments. This installation is a way to bring some of those benefits indoors: a moment of calm, light, and quiet connection.
