Inspire, the mental health and wellbeing charity, is marking its 65th anniversary with a poignant and powerful exhibition, INSPIRED, bringing together the stories of its service users and staff.
The multi-media exhibition consists of everyday items, each belonging to one individual and prompting a story or memory of a specific point in their life. Each seemingly mundane article (a set of car jump leads, a 1970s iron, a pair of running shoes, a front door key) has a deeply personal story conveyed through audio narration by the story-tellers themselves. Each shares intimate reflections on their experiences, reflects on their past and, with support from Inspire, looks ahead to the future.

Drop in to Enniskillen Library to enjoy this free exhibition of three large wall-mounted streetscape panels showing side-view elevations of houses, shops, churches and civic buildings fronting onto several streets of Enniskillen. They represent, in two-dimensional form, an architectural, spatial and historical record of 330 buildings from 1862 to 2018, and include the names of 5,000 tenants and business owners who lived and traded there. A group of smaller panels show many significant changes to the town’s historic built environment. Launched on 31 May as part of the Barton Wine Geese Festival, the uncommissioned and unfunded mapping project is a remarkable solo voluntary endeavour of local man, Gaby Burns, who – over a seven-year period – researched, designed and produced it. This exhibition will be on display until the end of August.
