Belfast Before Flood

Belfast Before Flood

Belfast
Here in the year 2222, we often wonder what Belfast was like 200 years ago. Come and see for yourself in ‘Belfast Before Flood’ - the new living museum based on the forgotten Belfast of 2022. Using authentic early 21st Century technology and language, this experience is guaranteed to be both educational and entertaining for anyone interested in what life was like before the Great Submersion. Using the quaint antique of technology of mobile smartphones, ‘Belfast Before Flood’ provides a location-activated audio walk that shares the stories of how and why Belfast was the way it was in 2022. And more importantly, how it changed in the intervening years leading to our present day in the year 2222. So celebrate 200 years since the era of peak knowledge and the beginning of the end of life as they knew it in 'Belfast Before Flood'. To begin, tap 'Stream Walk'. Once you see the map, pay attention to your location via the bright blue dot - if you can't see it on the map, tap 'Locate Me' or the small arrow button. You can then find the audio tour locations at the 'sound zones' - the pale blue shapes on the map. The circular shape marks the first sound zone. You can get a hint of the content for a sound zone by tapping its marker on the map. Once you enter a sound zone the audio tour commentary will start, and play through while you remain in the zone. Remember to be aware of your surroundings and passing traffic. Please listen through headphones and turn on your phone's WiFi to help improve your location accuracy.

PARROT FEVER (in Belfast)

PARROT FEVER (in Belfast)

Belfast
PARROT FEVER - a mobile audio story in two cities Words & voice by Emily DeDakis | Sound & production by John D'Arcy After the disappearance (and possible kidnapping) of her English colleague, a U.S. photojournalist navigates a city that feels suddenly less familiar. Follow in the photojournalist's steps and eavesdrop on imagined conversations with her lost colleague. Along the way, she quotes from her colleague’s journalism bible ‘Parrot Fever: Bylaws for the Aspiring Journalists’, pithy directives about cultivating sources, trust, learning where you belong and learning your craft. This mobile audio story is told in seven parts, each planted at a special location. This version, PARROT FEVER (in Belfast), locates each part of the story to a place in Belfast. If you are in Beirut, search the Echoes app for PARROT FEVER (in Beirut) and explore the same story across locations in that city. Story locations are marked by the blue shapes on the map. Get a hint of the content at a location point by tapping on its marker on the map. Please listen through headphones and turn on your phone's WiFi to help improve your location accuracy. Download the walk’s audio in advance to prevent issues with mobile data streaming. Take good care whilst navigating the streets. Be mindful of traffic and fellow pedestrians, and be careful when crossing roads. \*“For what we see is what we are, for eyes are a projector not only a viewer, for whatever we photograph we always lose.” \* Noir Barakat (@noirbarakat) The events and characters of PARROT FEVER are entirely imagined. The story exists out of time and in both of the two cities that inspired it - Beirut & Belfast. Emily is a U.S. native & longtime resident of Belfast. She’s the daughter of a journalist and as a young child was keenly aware of the kidnapping of Associated Press reporter Terry Anderson (1947-2024). Anderson was held hostage in Beirut from 1985-1991 and passed away during the writing of this audio story in April 2024. PARROT FEVER is dedicated to members of the press across the world, recognising the dangers they face - especially native journalists of Gaza and Lebanon, currently under direct attack.

Commissioned by NI Mental Health Arts Festival & Hosta Projects. If you have any questions or feedback about this Echoes audio walk experience please contact John D'Arcy (j.darcy@qub.ac.uk)
