A Building for Your Community explores how communities shape the spaces they inhabit. Hosted by architect and creative director Becca Thomas, this series examines community-led development from multiple perspectives - from architects pioneering participatory design, to social enterprises restructuring how practice works, to artists creating visibility for underrepresented groups, to community groups who became accidental property developers. Each episode asks: how do we build spaces that truly serve the people who use them?

Visibility as Architecture: Creating Space for Underrepresented Groups with Array Collective

In Belfast, where geography is political and choosing which street to walk down can be an act of positioning, Array Collective makes work that's deliberately loud and visible. Jane Butler and Thomas Wells discuss creating safe space through presence rather than walls, making work for communities they're part of rather than parachuting in with solutions, and how humour and silliness can disarm audiences enough to start conversations about abortion rights and marriage equality. This is about what happens when visibility itself becomes the architecture.
