    This one’s crept up on me – seems there’s another Digbeth art crawl this evening, which starts with a drinks reception to launch the start of Participation at VIVID.

    Participation is an exhibition and archive project centred on the emergence of new film forms, politics and practices in the 1980s. Presented in two parts, the works react to and document the rise of Thatcherism and the social and cultural events the period from 1979 engendered: inner city disturbances, the miners strike, and increasing social disparity.

    Doors open at 6pm and the evening includes a special screening of works by Birmingham Film & Video Workshop introduced by Roger Shannon.  VIVID are starting a Saturday film screenings programme from this Saturday 4th July at 2pm.

    Eastside Projects bring us delightfully titled Does your contemplation of the situation fuck with the flow of circulation, a solo show by Glasgow based artists Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan.  Doors open at 7pm.

    From 8pm there’s Another Bloody Party to mark the end of Xu Zhen’s The Last Few Mosquitoes at Ikon Eastside.  The fun goes on until midnight and there’ll be live band and Bloody Marys all round.
