A little bit more about the event:
Digbeth is getting more 'user friendly'. Still, when I say that I love jogging along the Digbeth canal, people tend to stare at me with a certain expression on their face. This is the dodgy part of Birmingham, or at least this is how it's perceived.
But I see an enormous potential there. Imagine, a very central part of a city literally packed with abandoned Victorian factories. Isn't it a perfect location for artists and other freaks like us? I was totally in awe when I got the invitation for the Arts Party of the Year organised in Digbeth.
Here are some pics from this event (apologies for the quality, these were taken with my phone):
