'We Are Overloaded: haemochromatosis seen through our eyes,' is a collaborative project by Haemochromatosis UK and Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Cathal McNaughton.
It explores the real, lived experiences of people affected by genetic haemochromatosis, an iron overload disorder – commonly known as ‘the Celtic Curse’.
Through striking photography and personal stories, the exhibition aims to raise awareness, encourage understanding, and gives a voice to those living with this often misunderstood condition.
Its opening comes as the charity Haemochromatosis UK begins to offer free genetic testing to selected postcodes in Portadown, Magherafelt, Ballymena and Irvinestown.
The exhibition runs until Friday, March 20.
