“Come Together’ by Lucy Mclauchlan
EC-Arts collaborate with artist Lucy McLauchlan to create a temporary artistic intervention utilising the hoardings on Moseley Road.
The project is a result of both EC-Arts objectives to utilise redevelopments within transitional periods, and artist Lucy McLauchlan’s ongoing desire to create a positive impact with her work in the public realm. Lucy has created ‘Come together’ a theme inspired by the Digbeth community. Her infamous bird murals depict ‘community’ to counterbalance the wasteland the site envelops.
Volunteers and service users of IWIC (engaging socially isolated Irish people across Birmingham) participated within the preparation of the hoardings, cleaning the area and cheerfully painting them on a very cold day.
The project was sponsored by Birmingham Joinery, and supported by Irish Welfare Information Centre & Birmingham Irish Community Forum
With special thanks to Micky Rice, Michelle Aucott and Jake Genockey for his brilliant work as usual!
