Eric Moschopedis and Mia Rushton, Grand Union Canal Workshop

19 March 2016

Eric Moschopedis and Mia Rushton are interdisciplinary visual artists, facilitators, and community organisers from Calgary, Canada. Throughout the last seven years they have developed a collaborative practice that operates in both a gallery and in more public spaces and arenas.


For Arts & Science Festival, the artists invited the public to walk and talk with them, among other things, along Digbeth’s canal. The walk left from Grand Union Gallery, where they were in residence throughout February and March 2016 undertaking intense research about the canals & waterways that are so prominent in Birmingham’s history.


Presented by Grand Union in partnership with Cultural Engagement as part of University of Birmingham’s Arts & Science Festival. For full details visit: www.birmingham.ac.uk/artsandsciencefestival
