VIVID

Established in 1992, VIVID has a longstanding commitment to the development of contemporary media arts through research, production, and commissioning programmes.

Based in Birmingham's Eastside district, the VIVID project space, The Garage, is used to introduce audiences to both emerging talent and work of international significance, with a strong focus on the moving image and innovation.

VIVID takes an inter-disciplinary approach to moving image to also embrace music, new media, live and visual arts and in so doing, supports audiences to navigate their own way through complex and important histories and territories.

ACTS OF MEMORY (co-presented with Fierce)

VIVID is inviting people from Birmingham to take part in a collective recitation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with artist Monica Ross. Take this chance to learn a small part of the Declaration of Human Rights and recite it in public, in your own language, as part of this unique performance.

Everyone is welcome and we hope that the recitation will fully reflect the many voices and languages of Birminghams communities. We wish to include many speakers and are interested in hearing Articles from the Declaration memorised and recited in many different languages including British Sign Language.

If you, your group, or organisation would like to take part in this project, please express your interest by emailing Nicola Lowery or calling VIVID on 0121 766 7876. Alternatively you can attend a free information session at VIVID - details below.

FRI 03 FEB | 6.30PM | FREE
