Brink! Is a collection of creative thinkers, innovators, and artists building a platform for discussion, education and action centred on the issues of climate breakdown.

We want to support our city’s net-zero and regeneration visions through greening, art and science that demonstrate innovation and that embrace storytelling for community engagement; hearing new voices; telling new stories.

We are using a council-owned site earmarked for Belfast Stories, a high-profile visitor centre celebrating narratives of the city to be built from 2026. In the meantime, ‘A Growing Story’ will explore in this derelict inner-city space what can happen when we understand our city centre differently, make it grow and play, experiment and educate there. This heritage project is at the heart of Brink!’s plan.
