6.30–8.30pm – free
Ikon Eastside, 183 Fazeley Street, Digbeth, Birmingham B5 5SE
Found news footage filmed in Digbeth and Deritend between 1956 and 1978 forms the backdrop to a public discussion about the area’s future development. As a range of possible scenarios are proposed for the district, we ask what those who live and work in the area would wish for the future and how a variety of agendas might fruitfully co-exist. Chaired by Nicky Getgood of popular local blog Digbeth is Good, speakers include Philip Singleton, Assistant Director Planning & Regeneration, Birmingham City Council, Digbeth based architect Joe Holyoak and Dave Harte, Senior Lecturer in Media and Communications at Birmingham City University. Hosted by the Eastside Arts Consortium. Places are free but should be reserved by calling Ikon on 0121 248 0708.
