Through Our Eyes — Free Group Exhibition & Workshops at Brig Café
Birmingham-based artist and curator Amish Gudur is inviting the community to Through Our Eyes, a free three-day mixed media group exhibition taking place in collaboration with BRIG at Brig Café from 22nd–24th July, part of the South Asian Heritage Month events and celebrations.
The exhibition brings together over 20 artists from across Birmingham and beyond, working across painting, collage, film, poetry, essays, ceramics, textiles, and more. Centred on the theme of Unity in Diversity, the exhibition draws together artists from across communities to explore identity, belonging, and what it means to carry a culture and find yourself reflected in art.
Alongside the exhibition, each day features a free hands-on workshop open to all ages and abilities.
Tuesday 22nd July — Community Collage
Visitors are invited to contribute a small collage square to a growing collective tapestry inspired by Birmingham and the communities that make it. No experience needed — just show up and make something.
Wednesday 23rd & 24th July — Muggu Workshop
Muggu (also known as Kolam) is a traditional South Asian floor art practice made using rice flour, passed down through generations. Fun, meditative, and open to all ages — no experience needed whatsoever.
All workshops are free. No materials needed — everything is provided.
Thursday 23rd July, Evening — Poetry Night
Rounding off the second day of the exhibition, the evening will open up into a poetry night celebrating South Asian Heritage Month through the art of spoken word and performance. Expect poets from across communities, performing work that speaks to identity, culture, and lived experience.
More details, including timings and performers, to be announced soon.
All three days are free entry, with workshops also free and open to families. The exhibition is part of South Asian Heritage Month's broader celebration of culture, creativity, and community across the UK.
Dates: 22nd–24th July
Location: Brig Café at The Warehouse, 54–57 Allison Street, Birmingham, B5 5TH
