Imagine Festival presents Listening to the Lough with Tommy Greene

This March, Imagine Festival Belfast will be taking over the Cube for a week as they present a series of events as part of their 2026 Festival. 

Join Involve for an evening of conversation with Tommy Greene, an investigative journalist whose forthcoming book Troubled Waters is an account of what has driven Lough Neagh’s long term mismanagement and degradation and what its future might hold.

Tommy will be joined by civic leaders for a session exploring power, protest and participation in moments of ecological crisis. Drawing on past and present struggles, the discussion will ask what democracy demands now, and what courage looks like in the context of Lough Neagh.

A moderated dialogue with the audience will open the conversation out, before moving into a relaxed storytelling session with local Seanachaí (the Irish term for a traditional storyteller and historian) Jim Conway. We will close the day with an invitation to stay involved, a naming of next steps in the Lough Neagh Assembly conversation, and a short collective ritual of hope.

This event follows an all-day gathering in the Crescent Cube Theatre – booking here.
