Our ground breaking heritage education project for 12 -18 year olds exploring the history of street art, its link to the Black Arts Movement, Hip Hop and its relevance to Black heritage and culture.
This heritage education programme consists of a series of 4 workshops, showcasing prominent street artists, such as the legendary Jean Michel Basquiat.
The workshops are interactive, allowing participants to practice neo expressionist art and develop their own abstracts and social commentary, which are incorporated into local street artworks.
The project is supported by Canaan Brown, emerging Birmingham-based interdisciplinary artist, designer, and student. Canaan specialises in film, writing, and production design, with a desire to blur the boundaries between these media and other practices
