Created in Birmingham

I’ll admit I’ve slightly lost track of what’s going on where and when.

More Canals Than Venice has the list of BIAD shows.

We’ve mentioned Birmingham Metropolitan College’s show for the Diploma in Professional Photo Imaging. There’s a show called We Are The New DNA at the FEED and fashion labs at Millennium Point too, but I can’t find any info online (see photo of poster below instead).

What have I missed?

Also, if you’re doing a few of these shows you might want to check out clichespotting.com.
