Visual Noise: photographers and musicians collaborate for Carrickfergus exhibition

A vibrant collaboration where local music meets photography is to launch at Carrickfergus Civic Centre.

Visual Noise is a project from Positive Carrickfergus, run as part of the group’s Positive Sounds music development work.

The project pairs photographers’ images – many taken in Carrick – with original pieces composed by musicians and inspired by the photos.

“We wanted to explore how emotion ‘translates’ from one art form to another,” Positive Carrickfergus said of the project. “While photography and music feel very different, both are powerful ways to tell a story. By bringing these two worlds together, we’re encouraging new interpretations of our town and celebrating the incredible creativity found right here in Carrickfergus.”

Visual Noise launches on Saturday, March 28 at 2pm and runs until April 10 in partnership with Carrickfergus Museum, with funding support from Arts Council NI and Clanmil Housing Association.

Positive Carrickfergus will also be hosting an evening live event featuring the accompanying music that forms part of the exhibition.
