View and celebrate four art installations, using materials specific to the industrial/historical elements of Brierley Hill and a mini documentary exploring personal connections to the town.

Commissioned by Historic England, Dudley MBC and Brierley Hill Cultural Consortium, a group of residents have created four art installations whilst exploring their personal identifies with particular reference to what brings them to Brierley Hill.

Four groups have gathered to produce large scale, 6 foot DNA strands incorporating: Steel; Wood, willow, buttons and leather; Glass; and hardware fabric and jewellery.

A documentary has been produced to go along with the project and tonight will be the word premiere!

Harry’s Women’s Discovery Group create flowers for their sculpture – recognising the agricultural past of our town.

How could any project about the history of Brierley Hill ignore glass! Not this one!

One of the DNA structures participants in These People, This Place have been working with.

PLUS

100 Faces of Brierley Hill…a chance to see the portraits of over 100 local people collected as part of the Cultural Consortium Programme.
