About the Groups
A wide range of community groups and individuals from across Northern Ireland were involved in developing the installation.
Sharon and Museum staff visited the groups in their own community spaces first, so that participants could discover more about the project before visiting the Museum, and to enable the artist and staff to learn more about the individual needs of each group. The groups then visited the X2 Flight Experience to gain inspiration before getting to grips with the creative work.
