The Growing Project

Through our community-led growing scheme The Growing Project, we collaborate with several local Birmingham and Digbeth based organisations who support the vulnerably-housed and people in crisis. The Growing Project aims to ‘Green-Sense’ the city, improve sites across Birmingham by growing food and creating green spaces, places that are developed, tended and nurtured by homeless people

A simultaneity of stories-so-far

May – July 2021

A simultaneity of stories-so-far will open in the gallery in Spring 2021. An exhibition of sound, video and writing by artists Lucy Reynolds, Navi Kaur and Holly Argent will re-consider acts of gathering and articulating collective stories. Cultivated throughout the last year, stories-so-far brings to attention how place is given resonance through joined together voices.

Phyllis Christopher

September – December

Grand Union is delighted to be working with Phyllis Christopher on a solo exhibition of her work. Drawing from the surrounding queer community and her personal connections, her images depict lesbian pleasure, sex positivity and political movements.

Chopping Club with Navi Kaur and Human Libraries

Monday 12th April, 5.30 – 7.00pm, online.

As part of A simultaneity of stories-so-far we have co-commissioned artist Navi Kaur to produce a new film, Mērā Ghar, with Human Libraries (liverpool) which we are delighted to share during April’s online edition of Chopping Club. The recipe for this event comes directly from Navi’s grandmother, Budimom’s Chole, which we will cook together before sitting down to watch Navi’s film Mērā Ghar. This event will take place on zoom, it is free but booking is essential. We will provide ingredients to those who need them.
