Culture Jam « More Canals than Venice – Seems Culture Jam will be getting Digbeth to Go East and explore ‘the shared past, present and future of British and Lithuanian culture through photography, film, art and music on such subjects as genocide, war, political emancipation, nostalgia, cultural revolution and new and emerging subcultures.’
The event launches at Moor Street Station at 3pm on Saturday 14th November with traditional Eastern European delicatessen food and a presentation of Mission Siberia.
There will also be screenings of short art-documentaries produced by independent filmmakers from across the West Midlands and Lithuania, including a short on the demise of the MG Rover factory in Longbridge, and a hard hitting drama about the journey of an Eastern European family who move to the region.
CultureJam will be closer to home 10pm-3am at Volt, 22 Green Street, Digbeth with a live performances from Norwegian/Lithuanian cinematic six-piece Rasa Basom and electro folk pioneers Black Diamond Bay. Looks like one not to miss, this does.
