Join us reimagine, co-design and prototype your future creative neighbourhood.
This workshop’s challenge is to reimagine a neighbourhood within the Birmingham or Black Country area with a new creative & equitable purpose! Together, we will as teams face off to rapidly prototype your neighbourhood ideas; creating miniature versions of them from unconventional city-born materials.
Creations from this workshop will be exhibited in a public arts space as part of a body of work celebrating the power of everyday citizens to reimagine and design purposeful cities they want to live in; with an extended invitation for those willing to continue this project to help redevelop a real local neighbourhood.
