This clip captures an Express Yourself Social Café event, showcasing the community’s creative projects and performances. Organiser Deirdre McKenna introduces the event alongside Simon, a member. Attendees are encouraged to engage with the artists, who have contributed to a collaborative wall drawing and sculptural pieces, some of which have personal stories. Deirdre also highlights Northern Ireland Now, the project under which this film was catalogued. The Social Café, a weekly inclusive arts initiative at the Black Box, provides a welcoming space for adults with learning disabilities to express themselves through artistic projects. The event also features live performances, with musician William McLean introducing his set.
