Our Shared Journey

20 Jul 2023

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.
