What ‘culture’ do you do? – Birmingham: It’s Not Shit – An opportunity for those making great things happen locally to include themselves in the Brummie cultural make-up for the city’s bid for UK City of Culture 2013:
One idea to capture that is to let everyone contribute to a one day celebration of all Birmingham’s cultural activity. For 24 hours from midday on Friday 23rd April to midday on Saturday 24th anyone can blog anything cultural they’re doing on the bid website (it’ll be at http://birminghamculture.org/blog) — you contribute via email. Anything sent to blog@birminghamculture.org will make the site — pictures video or audio included.
Now some Digbeth peeps I’d like to see blowing their own trumpets this weekend are:
- Wrote Under – shout about your spoken word and poetry events and plans.
- Irish Heritage – some of the best cultural events I’ve been to in Birmingham are your evenings.
- Margarett Rose Abri Cafe – for your live music, poetry and comedy cosy gatherings.
- COWshop and Birmingham Bead Shop – for getting us all crafty.
I’m sure I’ve missed some out – if you feel you’re one of them get email blog@birminghamculture.org with what you’re up to from midday this Friday 23rd April to midday on Saturday 24th.
