Belfast’s creative sector is blessed with two state-of-the-art facilities where creators can collaborate, explore storytelling techniques and develop new forms of expression. Run by Queen’s as part of the School of Arts, English and Languages, The Seamus Heaney Centre and the recently opened MediaLab are becoming key contributors to the city’s thriving cultural scene.
The Seamus Heaney Centre celebrates the Nobel-winning poet’s legacy, offering courses in creative writing, staging literary readings and showcasing leading writers from Ireland and beyond. The centre is developing a working relationship with MediaLab, which explores the latest video game and screen technologies, and experiments with immersive storytelling.
