BOXWARS is a game borne of carnage where families and friends make cardboard battle gear ready to enter a cardboard frenzy. Fight or be recycled! Sunday 1 July

Thank you to everyone who came out and got involved with all the making and the mayhem yesterday. It was a splendid day! We’ll be sharing more photos and videos on our Instagram page throughout this week @BoxwarsBrum

Yo! I'm gonna reflect on this whole weekend later but this session right here made me emotional!

So grateful for everyone who is making this weekend magic! #MAIAwk19

Beats, rhymes & cities. Exploring the link between hip hop and architecture.

#MAIAwk19 peeps writing bars and beats and sharing them back. 👌

Many indie retailers are their own form of community centres, in many ways, offering alternative "social support services". I spoke with @SatnamRana for @bbcmtd about how the arts can amplify that message to celebrate our local assets.

For the #Backin10 project I'm on w. @bct_us

Honour to be here at the @RootedByDesign launch with so many siblings. A full house and there is rum punch! Congratulations to @Julesequity and the team. The Birmingham squad are excited to support and work with you.

There is something truly insidious and violent about the mistreatment of natural Black hair. "Social justice" groups wanting to police and alter Black bodies to conform to Eurocentric standards "for a better life". This is nauseating & dehumanizing.

Destruction! https://t.co/gT4CBZssiV

This week remembers a dark time in history. It's been 23 years since the Bosnian #genocide and building on the work of @SrebrenicaUK our next #YellowWednesdays feature is #HalimasPath. #RememberingSrebrenica

Still on a high from Sunday with @BoxwarsBrum and @BrumZineFest , so how could I not dig out the cardboard for today’s crèche #RadicalChildcare @ImpactHubBrum

[CIVIC SQUARE @CIVIC_SQUARE]

Thanks to @andy4wm & team for visiting us as part of #WMCommunity, a weekend of events, all across the region. @BoxwarsBrum was quite something & it was wonderful to see all together making, creating, destroying, rebuilding. Well done to our very own @danielyep!

You can see the full sets of photos from yesterdays @BrumZineFest & @BoxwarsBrum over on their respective pages but I've put a few of my faves on a lil' blog over on my site. Go have a goosey gander. https://t.co/5niaomP3Pz

[Thom Bartley @ThomBartley]

When it comes to uniqueness and style my personal favourite @BoxwarsBrum armour has to go to @AliBaskerville aka the Egg Lady.

[BoxwarsBrum @BoxwarsBrum]

So, the first ever Mayor’s Community Weekend draws to a close. More than 100 events took place, celebrating the pride we share in our communities. Here’s a round up of highlights from my journey around the West Midlands today. #WMCommunity 1/2

@annekadeva @RoryMcGhie @BoxwarsBrum @ImmyKaur @andy4wm @danielyep @andrereid_ Certainly the best (and most random) Sunday I’ve had in a while 😆
