Strange Ways is a Birmingham-based artists’ collective and from 1 to 12 July they’ll be putting on their first major event - an art project at The Edge in response to the Cheapside area in Digbeth:
Demolition of the industrial landscape and its replacement with modern residential apartment blocks has begun. An ever-decreasing number of small industrial businesses remain. This is a crucial moment, the final stage of change from industrial to residential. Strange Ways’ intention was to witness, respond to and document this moment, but also to act as a focus for the new residential community and the existing working community to interact.
There’s more info and profiles of the artists involved on the Strange Ways website and there’s a Facebook group too.
