Join us for sonics as Gary Stewart concludes his work for Birmingham Media Archive Project (The First Decade). Gary will build an immersive soundscape that excavates the echoes, traces and density of past and present Digbeth, responding to an area that is in flux. The work will resonate in the space from 7:30pm as a directional conversation with exterior sound using a geophone and contact mics.
