We Can Do Better vs Belfast City Hall AR

We Can Do Better is an art installation and augmented reality experience at Downhill House in Northern Ireland, from artist Joe Caslin and the Nerve Centre. Co-created with ‘The Kindred Collective’, a group of young women born after the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, the installation reflects some of the issues affecting young people in Northern Ireland today and offers a platform for their voices to be heard. Through a process of collaboration with Joe Caslin and the Nerve Centre, the collective has chosen to focus the project around four key themes, including their lived experience of Northern Ireland and their hopes and morals. You can use the app to bring Caslin’s epic new artwork to life, listen to stories and music from the collective, unlock personal messages left by the public and record and submit your own hopeful aspiration for the future.
