The exhibition – entitled The State of Belfast, and taking up multiple floors of the building across several galleries – uses the Steve McQueen artwork ‘Grenfell’ as a “jumping off point”. The chronology outlines the dismal process of social homes being sold off since the early 1980s, from 34% of six counties households in social tenancies in 1974, to just 14% today. This evisceration of the social housing stock has left 49,083 on the Northern Ireland Housing Executive waiting list, a Thatcherite policy familiar to those in England, Scotland, and Wales:Meanwhile, asylum seekers often face substandard housing, destitution through homelessness, or placement in a hotel. Mackie’s MasterplanThe centrepiece of the exhibition features Take Back the City’s template for resolving the issues around housing in Belfast – what it calls the ‘Mackie’s Masterplan‘. On the ground floor in The Sunken Gallery screenings of the Marta Dyczkowska film Hearsay at Point Zero can be found, which The MAC describes as exploring:life at the heart of Belfast City Centre amid the relentless tides of redevelopment and neoliberal transformation.
