DRIFT Listening Session 3 and conversation

DRIFT is a project for Belfast’s river Lagan commissioned by Belfast 2024. A collaboration between OGU, MMAS and sonic artist Matilde Meireles, DRIFT will host a series of listening sessions and related events in August and September 2024.Aiming to refocus attention on Belfast's relationship with the river Lagan, DRIFT will investigate the city's disconnected and utilitarian approach to its waterfront, drawing out the complexity of exchanges between people and the waterway. At the heart of the project is a floating "instrument” that will draw attention to the river in new ways by enhancing the multisensory experience of being on the water. Highlighting existing dependencies between the river ecosystem and urban life (recognised points of human interference), it is hoped that by sparking people’s curiosity and interest in the Lagan, the project can start a transformative public conversation about the potential of a more accessible river that embraces a series of valuable public spaces.https://www.oguarchitects.com/work/drift
