Heard And Not Seen

Welcome to the ‘Heard and Not Seen’ blog and website. ‘Heard and Not Seen’ is an arts project by Sandra Hall and Mitra Memarzia supported by Friction Arts. The project aims to create a unique, safe space for people to meet and ask questions with each other, of each other; particularly about faith, religion and spirituality. More details about the project can be found here.

So the exhibition launch was last night and was a resounding success.  It was a great turnout, with over 200 people coming through the doors.  Councillor Rudge gave a great speech, followed by our own Sandra Hall, welcoming the audience to the celebration of all the great things that have already been achieved by the project, and it’s only the beginning.  The audience had a great time, there were all kinds of people there, definately not the usual arts audience, there were kids running about, ’suits’, police, representatives from the bbc and a great cross-section of the Brummie community.  I’ll be posting images of the exhibition on the appropriate page in a couple of days, as well as some more audio on the interviews page, so keep checking back.

We’d like to thank everyone who came to the launch, but we’d also like to urge them to return at a quieter time - there were so many people attending it was very difficult to get a real look at the work on offer!  We’re all really pleased with the way the exhibition is looking in its current incarnation and a special thanks has to go to the Mailbox for taking the risk of showing the work, when many traditional arts spaces would not.

The show runs daily (including Sundays) until the 28th of November, so we hope to see you there.
