21. TrooRa The Special Art Issue '23 - Belfast

remarkable photographic journey that originated in 1993 when the Dutch photographer was assigned by Vrij Nederland magazine to document the restoration of the Imperial Courts neighborhood” Robb went on. Utilizing this opportunity, Lixenberg embarked on a project that would capture the multifaceted human experience and the palpable frustration of the community within the resilient yet tempestuous streets. Looking into the future with hope, Belfast Exposed shares its prospects for another major exhibition to be presented in 2024, the Vivien Maier Double Portrait exhibition. The talented artist, Vivian Miaher’s innovative approach to portraiture elevates the genre, pushing boundaries and encouraging audiences to forge profoundly intimate connections with her subjects. Belfast Exposed strives to remind us of the timeless power of imagery to transcend boundaries, evoke emotions, and spark our imagination. In the midst of every photograph lies a world of narrative, expression, and wonder, waiting to be explored anew with each visit. We are therefore left with a newfound appreciation for the art of photography and the stories it unfolds.
