About this Event

Graft Collective invites you into La Roche Belfast for an evening of conversation, listening, and making — exploring the idea of home as an artistic practice and art as a form of home.


Set within a lived-in architectural space, the night centres the domestic as a site of cultural production: where labour, care, creativity and exchange quietly unfold. Together with writers, artists, architects and spatial practitioners, we’ll reflect on how everyday routines, rooms, food and hosting shape creative work across writing, architecture and art.


Curated in response to Well, I Just Kind of Like It, edited by Wendy Erskine, this gathering brings multiple forms of making into dialogue — relaxed, conversational, and collective.

Thursday 29 January

7.30–11pm
