ABOUT

Memory Fractal is a new interactive installation which shares collective memory of the people of Belfast

The installation is built on a basis of a growing archive of personal objects where each of them shares a unique insight on everyday life in Belfast.

Participate in its growth through this website, our community co-creation sessions and life events.
