Research & Cultural Collections
organised an exciting and very full program of activities for me. Some of the
other things I've been up to while in ‘Brum’:
- Attended a preview screening of Tearing up History: a fascinating documentary about iconoclasm during the French Revolution by Dr Richard Clay, an academic at the University of Birmingham. With my background in political studies and current studies in conservation, it is certainly a topic that combines many of my interests and an area I’d like to explore further.
- Climbed the stairs of the newly opened Library of Birmingham and took in the fantastic view of the city from the rooftop – 9 floors up!
- Attended a wonderful performance of Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra with other students from the Cultural Intern Scheme at the magnificent Symphony Hall.
- Visited the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Gallery and the contemporary IKON Gallery, ate delicious Indian ‘balti’ dishes, trekked around Licky Hills and had a drink at the ‘smallest pub in Birmingham’ with the very hospitable previous Award recipients, Chloe Lund and Katy Wade.
