Brink! is a Belfast-based creative platform that brings together art, community participation, and environmental action to explore new ways of living in response to the climate crisis. It operates as a space for discussion, education, and practical activity, using creative practice and citizen-led initiatives to help people imagine and test more connected, healthy, and sustainable futures.
Founded in 2023 by artist and creative producer Gawain Morrison and designer Paul Kelly, Brink! aims to build collaborative networks across sectors—including communities, cultural organisations, local government, and business—to exchange ideas and take collective action on environmental challenges.
The organisation is known for activating underused urban spaces as sites for experimentation, growing, making, and cultural exchange, demonstrating how creativity can reanimate the city and foster civic connection. Its programmes combine workshops, cultural events, and hands-on learning to encourage people to become active participants in shaping responses to climate change rather than passive observers.
Brink!’s work often links heritage skills with contemporary innovation—such as projects exploring the journey of flax from seed to textile—to reconnect communities with local materials, shared histories, and sustainable production.
Overall, Brink! positions creativity as a catalyst for dialogue, experimentation, and collective problem-solving, bringing diverse partners together to explore practical, community-driven approaches to environmental and social change.
