What can arts spaces and organisations do to be more inclusive to ‘invisible’ populations?
While access to (and participation in) the arts can be life changing, many people find the path blocked. Evidence suggests that people with severe mental illness tend to be forgotten when social inclusion policies are written by organisations and put into practice. CHOICE seeks to improve the lives of people with long-term mental health problems by tackling the fundamental health and social inequalities they experience.
With guest speker Aisling Kennedy, who joined Réalta (formerly Waterford Healing Arts Trust) in 2021 as Project Coordinator and Curator. In this role, she manages the Iontas Arts and Mental Health programme, the exhibitions programme, and the University Hospital Waterford (UHW) Art Collection. Réalta is a national resource organisation dedicated to developing arts + health in Ireland. Locally, it delivers the extensive Waterford Healing Arts programme at UHW.
Previously, Aisling worked with the Arts in Health team at Children’s Health Ireland. She holds an MA in Cultural Policy and Arts Management from University College Dublin and a BA in English Literature and Art History. She is also currently Deputy Chair of Arts + Health Coordinators Ireland, a support network for professionals managing arts + health programmes across the country.
With expertise in arts programming, curation, and project management, Aisling is passionate about making the arts accessible and meaningful in healthcare environments.
We seek to explore in this symposium how the arts could be more engaged in addressing the health disparities of this population.

Belfast City Hall

放飞自我去游玩

We were led by a big-bellied man, who took the middle staircase to the second floor. He asked us to introduce ourselves at the circular handrail in the middle. We were from all over the country, and most of us were foreigners. Then he led us to the parliament hall, which is where the parliamentarians usually hold meetings. There was a microphone at each seat. He then began to talk about the origin and function of this building, and spoke with great vigor. Everyone could sit anywhere, even the speaker&#39;s seat. After the introduction, he led us to visit other halls. The huge banquet hall was covered with thick and beautiful red carpet. I can&#39;t remember which hall was covered with blue carpet.

The castle is situated in between a mountain and sea. Gardens in the surrounding are also stunning. Moreover, if you like trekking, this is an ideal location.

Peace Wall Belfast

Historic buildings

The Peace Bridge is a beautiful landscape in Belfast. It represents a very sad history and also represents the hope of the people of Northern Ireland. The walls are covered with various graffiti works, most of which are paintings expressing peace in Northern Ireland. Some of the graffiti works are very moving and worth appreciating.

The streets of Herceg Novi are a bit deserted, unlike the old town of Kotor, where large cruise ships dock every day, bringing a large number of elderly European groups. But because there are fewer people, you can stroll around slowly and discover more beauty.
