[Open Arts @OPENARTSNI]

We are appalled by the violence displayed in Belfast & elsewhere. We are rooted in inclusion, representing a community that itself experiences hate crimes. We abhor racism, bigotry & intimidation. We send support to those targeted. #NoToHate #StandAgainstRacism #UnityOverDivision
