SUMMARY:Medals for Everyday Courage (SHOUT x CRAFTSPACE)
DESCRIPTION:**FULLY BOOKED**\n\n“Medals for Everyday Courage” is a craft workshop developed by Craftspace for the SHOUT 2021 Festival.\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOUT  invite you to participate in an upcoming FREE workshop that supports intergenerational conversations within our community. This event is part of SHOUT’s efforts to develop a platform that focuses on bringing together people of different ages to share their life stories and is supported by Ageing Better. \n\n\n“Medals for Everyday Courage” was originally designed by Craftspace and artist Alinah Azadeh with the aim to bring people together to produce medals for themselves or as a gift to someone else to celebrate and acknowledge their acts of courage\, especially in this time of crisis. You can check out the video of the previous iteration of the workshops by clicking HERE. \nThroughout this workshop\, you will have a chance to make the medals while sharing and talking about your experiences of the commonalities and differences in relation to the social and political changes that are affecting our LGBTQ+ community. \nThe medals you create will be displayed in Birmingham LGBT Centre and a selection of them will be featured in the upcoming CRAFTSPACE exhibition at Midlands Arts Centre (November 2021). \nThis activity will be led by Karina Thompson\, a Birmingham-based textile artist with over 30 years of experience in helping people tell the stories of their lives and neighbourhoods using creative processes. Although primarily working with textiles\, she often uses a wide range of materials and digital processes to enhance people’s making. She has led projects in spaces as diverse as a wood\, an isolation ward for cancer patients\, a young offenders’ centre and a robotics research facility. \nThe event will take place at Birmingham LGBT Centre on 16th October 2021 between 1 pm and 3:30 pm.

SUMMARY:We are Commoners: MAC showcase
DESCRIPTION:Featuring projects by We are Commoners artists: Alinah Azadeh\, Ele Carpenter\, Alice McLean and Justine Boussard\, Linda Brothwell\, Lise Bjørne Linnert and Gelwesh Waledkhani. \nAt MAC you can see a showcase of community work linked to We Are Commoners\, our national touring exhibition which explores the contemporary commons movement. Artist-led projects and workshops encouraged ‘acts of commoning’ – actions of shared benefit to a group – within local communities in Birmingham and Norway. Also featured is Linda Brothwell’s Acts of Care Bench Repair Project in Bristol. \nIn this showcase\, craft skills and materials provide a means to common. The projects featured demonstrate the need to imagine a more collectively-made and owned future. The artists’ projects are represented across three themes: Claiming\, Healing and Co-operating. They all suggest a shift in thinking from ‘you’re on your own’ to ‘we’re in this together.’ \nWe hope visitors will feel encouraged by the examples of co-operative action. To experiment\, seek out exchange and make connections with people\, objects\, spaces and their environments. #WeAreCommoners \n“The commons means: Things we share/ Places we share/ Systems we share/ Ideas we share/ Culture we share.” – Peter Barnes\, On the Commons co-founder \nMore details on the MAC website.
