PAST ADVENTURES
Moon Museum
For Little Earthquake as part of MoonFest
In collaboration with Deniz SözenGet six famous artists to make six new artworks. Shrink them onto a tiny ceramic tile. Sneak it onto a rocket and leave it on the Moon. The tiny Moon Museum smuggled onto Apollo 12 was the world’s first piece of Space Art. And it was time for history to repeat itself.
Community groups across the city collaborated with visual artist Deniz Sözen to create six brand new pieces of art inspired by the Moon landing — and we brought them together to create our very own Moon Museum for 2019.
Moon Memories
For Little Earthquake as part of MoonFest
In collaboration with Rochi RampalA social history project for Lunar Lovers and Loathers! An interactive and immersive installation inspired by 1960s living rooms, the public's recollections of the historic Apollo 11 mission, conspiracy theories and thoughts on the future of space exploration.
East Meets West
An artist-led development programme for the Midlands theatre sector. Mobilising artists, companies, producers, programmers and venues from across the entire region, East Meets West reduced barriers and encouraged collaboration between and within the East and West Midlands, cementing the foundations of a more proactive, democratic and supportive community.
The Three-Week Window Festival
For Little Earthquake in collaboration with Tin Box
Commissioned by Point Blank and Make.Shift StudiosThree weeks. One window. Limitless possibilities. An interactive festival for Birmingham's busiest high street.
Every day for three weeks, a shop window was transformed by artists who presented an array of work designed to intrigue, attract and engage thousands of passers-by. The Festival featured theatre, dance, music, photography and visual art — and alongside the Birmingham contingent, our collaborators hailed from as far afield as Manchester, Lancaster, Sheffield… and even Brazil.
