Ingredients for this leisurely Sunday afternoon romp will include cheesy wotsits, archive film and Deritend folklore, as Friction Arts unveil their Echoes from the Edge project and invite you to chip in with drawings and made-up facts (and food if you like). Highlights will include an  ‘Altered Pub Quiz’ using old news footage of the local area and special guests including local historian Ben Waddington and singer Jackie Roxborough. With thanks to Media Archive of Central England.

Over the next three years Echoes from the Edge will be creating a living archive from the histories and stories of Digbeth, Deritend and Highgate. More info at Friction Arts.
