Join 9ft in Common as the organisation launches A Manifesto for the Alleys, the culmination of years of research into the social and spatial potential of Belfast’s alleyways.
This final public gathering in our Belfast 2024 programme will premiere the film A Manifesto for the Alleys, created by videographer Simon Mills, who has been documenting the 9ft in Common project since 2020.
Attendees will receive a limited-edition risograph print of the manifesto, designed by artist-run initiative Soft Fiction Projects. The event will feature a range of engaging presentations, stories, and findings themed around the manifesto’s nine points, illustrating the potential of these overlooked and leftover spaces.
This launch event is a call to action for the city to “adopt the manifesto and embrace the alleys.” We’ll bring the manifesto to life with a closing procession to Wildflower Alley, where some refreshments will be served.* Wildflower Alley, Belfast’s original alley garden transformation project, will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2025—symbolically bringing the manifesto back to the alleys and the people who make them unique.
