Today's episode of Creativity and Culture West Midlands is all about place. Satnam and Robbie discuss place and placemaking, as we head over to the Black Country to meet two people who live, work and love telling the stories of the places they live.
Samatha Prescott, Creative Director and Founder of Fashion Talent and Black History CIC is based in Dudley and uses vintage fashion, music and re-enactment events to bring black history and Caribbean migration stories to life. As part of the Forging Ahead Advisory panel for @bclivingmuseum @fashiotalenthistory has helped the Museum explore new stories and showcase the role of Caribbean migrants and subsequent generations in shaping the culture of Dudley and the wider region.
We also hear from Bag Lord a Wolverhampton based visual artist who works loves Wolverhampton and sees his function as an artist in the city as holding space for people that don't typically view themselves as creative. @b4g_lord talks about how he considers identity through art and how artists have the opportunity to contribute to constructing a city's identity and a sense of place. He discusses the benefits of being able to be an artist and have a life in Wolverhampton and his recent efforts along with other protesters to save the School of Art in Wolverhampton.
