Number 11: Know your place
Researchers at Birmingham City University (BCU) have created an exhibition to help residents and visitors discover Birmingham’s unique landscape and history through the city’s iconic route.
Photographer Ming de Nasty and Stan’s Café Theatre Company visited one location for every mile of the route, photographing passers-by holding signs pointing to the place of interest. Local historian Professor Carl Chinn gave details of what areas used to look like centuries ago in guided tours.
Dr Alex Albans, research fellow at Birmingham City University’s College of Architecture, and Professor Katheryn Moore from West Midlands National Park lab speak about how the exhibition seeks to reclaim and reposition the phrase ‘know your place’ as a catalyst for people to discover a sense of pride, belonging and curiosity in the everyday landscape of their city.
