We”ll be back in Handsworth on June 5th at the Library to run a session with Kieran Connell from Birmingham University – see http://inbirmingham.wordpress.com/

Hope to see some old and new faces there – here’s the flyer:

We are well underway with the People Project – self portraits in collaboration with the Accord Housing Group and part-funded by the Arts Council. We’ve run three sessions for staff and active residents and today we did a public session at the Caldmore Festival. What are the odds of it raining today after such a brilliant couple of weeks. Well it did so we abandoned the tent on Caldmore Green and squeezed into the entrance of Caldmore Housing’s offices. In the end it was another great session with a wide range of participants from local residents, most of the local police force including the Inspector on his day off and the Lord Mayor. Brilliant work from Timm and Emma and of course Margot from Caldmore Housing. Despite the unexpected location it was a smooth operation. I’ll post images as soon as I can. Next is a session at the appropriately named Conkers on Tuesday 1st June. And there will be a website soon at www.thepeopleproject.org.uk

Below Timm uses specially large scissors to cut off the paper at the end of the day and Emma and Margot ham it up.
