Visual Noise is a project from Positive Carrickfergus, run as part of our Positive Sounds music development work. It’s a collaboration between local photographers and musicians of all ages and backgrounds: our photographers captured a series of images (many taken right here in Carrick), and our musicians composed original pieces inspired by them.

We wanted to explore how emotion “translates” from one art form to another. While photography and music feel very different, both are powerful ways to tell a story. By bringing these two worlds together, we’re encouraging new interpretations of our town and celebrating the incredible creativity found right here in Carrickfergus.

The exhibition took place in Carrick Museum and Civic Centre from 28th March – 11th April 2026; in partnership with Carrickfergus Museum with the project funded by Clanmil Housing.
