Wiehong is preparing her Chinese dance class for Mela, an annual festival that celebrates Belfast's range of different cultures.

As night moves into day, we meet Wiehong, who is preparing her Chinese dance class for Mela, an annual festival that celebrates Belfast’s range of different cultures. As the class practise in Lady Dixon Park, surrounded by roses, we learn how teaching traditional dance has helped Wiehong come to terms with the loss of her husband, who died from cancer three years ago.

In the city centre, artist Wee Nuls attempts to add some colour to Belfast’s streets. With the sounds of the annual Pride festival close by, Wee Nuls's design celebrates the cities LGBTQ + community.
