Birmingham Childrens Hospital Event

The 1000 stories team in action at the Children's Hospital delivering a version of the flying pages book of Birmingham.

We were invited by Sandhu Amrit from the corporate nursing team “play and activities” Department. During the two days she helped us get the children in the outpatients department telling their stories through making drawings, tracings and rubbings.

We were joined for a short session each day by students from the James Brindley School who enjoyed learning some traditional drawing skills as well as a fun animated silhouette activity.

What we are about

The idea is to look at Birmingham as a rich and diverse collection of stories. Whether it is about the past or the future, imaginary or factual, realistic or fantastical, how does your story begin and develop? And how can it be told?

Here at Outline our mission is to develop a greater understanding and use of drawing as a driver of rich experimentation and exploration. Everyone can draw, everyone can make their mark, everyone could leave a trace, and therefore everyone can tell their story, or their part of the story that makes up the book of Birmingham.

We are planning to develop these ideas through projects with their own students and more importantly to link with community groups of all persuasions so that some of the 1000 stories that Birmingham generates can be told through the visual arts.
