Dear Brum folk, it'd be lovely if you could come along next Tuesday evening to The Exchange to mark #WorldRefugeeDay. It's shaping up to be quite a special event, it's totally free, you can come and go as you please, and you'll get to explore usually unseen parts of the building.
Next Tuesday 20 June, 6-9pm, our students will be contributing live art works for a FREE event marking #WorldRefugeeDay at The Exchange on Centenary Square.
Come along for a thought provoking programme, and to discover usually unseen parts of the building.

Thrilled that next academic year I'll be running a praxical module @BirminghamDrama, part of #MAAppliedArtists, introducing students to live art practices & considering the body's political potential.

⚠️📢 chuffed to announce I've been invited to show #YESNOBLACKWHITE @DramaWorcs @WorcesterUni. Though I first created this piece in 2019 for @CamdenPT, my guess is it's still timely & somewhat explosive.

Ahead of #COP27 I've made this video piece, using news footage & @boburnham's amazing #ALLEYESONME. If you got 10 min, & the stomach for it, I'd recommend watching this on a large screen.
