About
This week is your final chance to see this solo show of new works!
Examining themes of appropriation, gentrification and the eternal cycle of arts-as-social-regeneration Fleshing, Filching & Fetishes focusses on humanities universal need for symbols and ritual, relics and celebration. Fashioned from a number of mythological artefacts, sinister cryptids and other revered objects this collection of genuine phonies celebrates the cultural and financial investment arts organisations have contributed to the locality and the very real community which has developed in the Digbeth area.
Including fakery, taxidermy, embroidery and found objects. Expect bottom-pinching spectres, terrifying canal monsters and the scent of violets wafting up to greet you...
