Birmingham Post – History of Digbeth, Deritend and Highgate exhibition opens – Friction Arts’ forthcoming exhibition Echoes From The Edge, is featured in the Birmingham Post:
The exhibition is navigated in a tour group of 12 people at a time, who are met by an artist-facilitator and then left to explore the exhibition alone.
The tour proceeds through the rooms and visitors are encouraged to delve into the exhibition. At the end of the tour the audience sit down at a dinner table for refreshments and a short facilitated discussion about the experience.
Lee Griffiths, co-director of Friction Arts, said: “Echoes from the Edge will be the first stage in a three-year project to accurately reflect a unique, historical area as it undergoes its biggest changes for 50 years.
“The long-term ambition is to create a community-inspired, living history museum in the neighbourhood, which grows and changes with its environment.”
The exhibition is running at The Edge, Cheapside from 23rd April to the 30th May. Booking in advance is essential and places are limited to 12 spaces for each tour of the installation. You can book individual or group places via the Friction Arts website, emailing info@frictionarts.com or calling 0121 772 6160.
