Last week, we hosted @ruthclaxton from @eprjcts, in our third talk on production, on ‘Building an Artist Friendly City’.

[Spacemakers @_spacemakers]

And she talked about Birmingham’s coat of arms, which features an artist and an engineer, and how Eastside (and @PeterNencini) produced a children’s story based on this crest, asking whether the city could ever stop knocking itself down, over and over again.
