It has been such a joy to look through half of the footage for Cutting The Grass II today! We doubled in size since last year! Thank you so much to all who came and sat and talked about green things whilst drinking green drinks (not pictured) Same time next year
"Everything to Everybody?" is a cinematic exploration responding to a wider project connected to Birmingham Library's Shakespeare collection.
This poetic documentary delves into Birmingham's soul, weaving a narrative tapestry that threads through the civic gospel, a cherished Shakespearean collection and the future of Birmingham's Civic Infrastructure. It attempts to capture the city's heartbeat pulsating through time.
Screening at @mac_birmingham on Saturday 3 February, 12pm - click the link in our bio to book now.

I want this to sit on my feed because I love my city!! thank you to @_jenwilbur and @bertzassociates for including me in this collage of 'We Make Brum'
I also love teaching, and what a warm welcome from our new students @bcuphoto
I've been teaching for 13 years now alongside my practice. And this Sept I started my second academic year proper @bcuphoto which I can't quite believe! Last year went in a flash, and the first few weeks of this new academic year have been fab.
Doing a walking tour of the city in the sun and seeing great art, with our new first year @bcuphoto students today reminded me of why I love my job. Bright and engaging students from across the country, and showing them some of my favourite places in the city, loved it!
