Atlas Women’s Centre

Belfast Exposed has been undertaking a photography project with Atlas Women’s Centre engaging a group of local women from the greater Lisburn area. The project, funded by Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC), looks at the history of Lisburn in its turbulent times, from the Lisburn Burnings in August 1920 during the Swanzy Riots, to its benefactor such as Sir Richard Wallace – whose water fountains can be seen in Lisburn and Paris – and captures how these events and people have shaped the city, and the beauty of the parks, gardens and historical landmarks which still stand today.
