The project used digital photography to engage the young people with creative learning offering new skills to enable each young person to capture both their own particular view of the Maze Long Kesh Site and surrounding area.

To enable this to be successful, we first engaged the young people in photography documenting their own area of Old Warren in Lisburn where they live. Belfast Exposed has images of Old Warren in its image archive taken before any regeneration in the area, these images were taken in the late nineties and were a catalyst to enable change within Old Warren.

Opening Dialogue

Process.

We engaged with the young people through a series of workshops.

The initial photography workshop used printed images of Old Warren to open dialogue asking the young people , What changes can they see in the printed images of Old Warren and with the Old Warren of today?.

From this dialogue we began to for a structure to our photography learning.

We established.

We would undertake our initial photography skills, in capturing Old Warren of today, and comparing with the images previously taken of Old Warren.

Undertake skills based Digital Photography workshops to enable this, these would include.
