Birmingham_-_Reform_Act_Map_1831

It’s been a wee while, but although activity on the website has been quiet, there has been lots of movement in terms of planning for a city-wide approach.

There are lots of obstacles, the next and final phase of for-Wards is such a beast and the timing in terms of Arts and cultural funding isn’t the best, but there has to be a way to realise this project. I truly believe in it, because I believe in Brum!! There is always a way!

Partnerships are key to this…. Integral. And they are starting to emerge….

Without giving too much away, what I can tell you is that for-Wards is going to partner up with the lovely guys over at Sound Kitchen to capture all 40 field recordings of the 40 x Brum wards…. what we do with them will be announced shortly…

I have an amazing steering group who are behind the project and have given so much of their time to help me think bigger and realistically. Thank you so much!! Claire, Marlene, Lee, Duncan and Ed!

Watch this space….
