Vivid Projects launches new art space in Birmingham

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 08:15 AM PST

This February, Vivid Projects will launch a new art space in Warwick Bar, part of the vibrant Eastside/Digbeth creative quarter in Birmingham. This new agency led by the curatorial team behind VIVID which ran a seven year programme in Digbeth from 2005-2012 has been awarded a crucial grant from Arts Council England to boost a two year programme of work in Birmingham.

The opening multi-media season 33 REVOLUTIONS will be an 8-month programme that asks the question; can art and culture be a catalyst for social change? Thought provoking encounters between new works and archive from 1960s to the present will address the ways in which film makers and artists from a diverse range of cultural situations and societies have protested.

33 REVOLUTIONS takes the audience on a journey through film, print, performance and song, celebrating personal acts of protest and resistance from the dance floors of 70s NYC to the anti-institutional spirit of 1960s-70s Britain right up to the simmering Arab Spring and Occupy!

33 REVOLUTIONS runs from February - September 2013 and launches with Revolution 01, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, How Long Will They Last?" at 7pm, Friday 22 February 2013.
