Our Shared Journey
New to Birmingham? Or here for many years but looking for connection and belonging? Want to look forward without forgetting your mother country?
BCAT is starting a new project which will involve walks around Birmingham & surrounding areas to gather content and ideas to create a map featuring landmarks of our childhood as well as our chosen new home. Sketching, painting, sewing… these are just some of the art forms that will be used to create a wall hanging to depict our shared journey to the wider community. It will complement our wall mural of the same name.
Meet the artist: the project will be led by artist Lisa Slinn with language support provided by CCC-B. Lisa is a professional designer-maker of ceramics and ceramic models. She has been a teacher in Birmingham for many years and has also designed pottery in the famous Potteries of Stoke On Trent. In session 1 on 6th July, Lisa will listen and gather your ideas for the future sessions: ‘How can we connect where we have come from to where we are going ? What landmarks in the City , social venues , enjoyable activities can we map that we can use in the future to enable better mental wellbeing and migration’
This new 6-month project is funded by the West Midlands Strategic Migration Partnership as part of the Hong Kong Welcome programme; however, all are welcome. There is a small weekly charge to cover administration and refreshments.
Costs per session: £3 – CCC-B Member; £2 – CCC-B Carer Member; £4 – Non-member
Book 6 sessions in advance and get one free.
Limited places so book early. You must provide your CCC-B Membership number for the discount. To reserve your place, please call CCC-B on 0121 685 8510.
