Imagineer, with independent artistic director Orit Azaz, present an ambitious new public art project: Imagine Bamboo.

Artists, designers, engineers and communities from across the UK, and internationally, are coming together to explore the potential of bamboo - widely held to be the future sustainable building material for the planet.

In 2022 our work includes the Imagine Bamboo Summit, Bridge2Bamboo R&D and Taking Root.

Imagine Bamboo has evolved from Bridge, a major outdoor arts project that took place 2018-2021, which brought together people who wouldn't normally meet.

Imagine Bamboo is proud to be part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival

Sustainable, Slow-designed, Contemporary, Ethically-crafted Furniture

CRAFT

Craft is a biggie for us because we believe it is inherently characterized by reference points that have the potential to counter unsustainability-including slowness, makers, mindfulness, skilfulness, intuitiveness, renewable-materials and self-reliance. We aim to keep craft relevant, dynamic, and sustained by reinterpreting it, and by embracing both traditional and non-traditional makers and their skill-sets.

DESIGN

Design is at the centre of what we do, because it holds the promise of imagining and realizing a better reality. We believe that a collaborative design process-which leverages inputs from everyone who makes up the compound picture-is the way to go about realizing the possibility of a better future. This is why our collaborators span different disciplines, and are not restricted to 'trained' designers.

SUSTAINABILITY

The adjective 'holistic' is implicit in our understanding of sustainability at Rhizome. We go beyond 'eco-design' to also look at all the messy and interlinked pieces of the sustainability jig-saw-including economic, social, cultural and ecological factors. We aim to go beyond an anthropogenic idea of sustainability, to one that looks at the possibility that humans and other life will flourish on the earth forever.

A rhizome is not amenable to any structural or generative model;

it is a 'map and not a tracing'

Join A Monday Morning Meeting Like No Other at the Imagine Bamboo Summit, an event co-hosted by Andy Street (West Midlands Mayor) and Imagineer as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival.

This international summit will explore the creative innovation and opportunities for UK-grown bamboo, which is globally recognised as one of the most sustainable and versatile building materials. This is your opportunity to explore material innovations, share knowledge and connect with those who are leading advancements in UK construction.

The Imagine Bamboo Summit is a cross-sector gathering, bringing together international bamboo specialists alongside engineers - including Atelier One and Arup - plus construction specialists, architects, academics and environmental leaders from across the UK cultural sector.

Invited bamboo specialists include Hans Friederich (former Director General INBAR, Malta), Bamboo U (Bali) and Ghana Bamboo Bikes, Rebecca Reubens (founding director Rhizome, India) and No Fit State Circus (UK).

Since 2020, Imagine Bamboo creative director Orit Azaz and Imagineer have been building a network of bamboo specialists to test and experiment the materiality of bamboo and the wider implications for establishing a UK-grown bamboo industry.

The Imagine Bamboo Summit shares these results, prompting the Midlands and UK to ask - how can the potential for green innovation and growth be further unleashed?

This Monday Morning Meeting Like No Other event is part of a four day Imagine Bamboo Summit, working alongside local communities to shape liveable cities and our sustainable future.

The Imagine Bamboo Summit is presented in Sunset Park, a neighbourhood green space five minutes walk from Five Ways Railway Station.

The Imagine Bamboo Summit is a World Bamboo Landmark Event.

Tickets are free but should be pre-booked. BOOK YOUR PLACE

2022 marks the 25th birthday of Fierce, one of the UK's most daring arts festivals. In celebration we're delighted to support a long-held ambition of theirs to bring the extraordinary large-scale public realm project, Key to the City. Be one of the thousands of Brummies to award someone the Key to the City - a ceremonial honour - but also a physical Yale key that will unlock 21 private and intriguing places around Birmingham and Solihull.

Dance makes its way to the city for the return of Birmingham International Dance Festival (BIDF). As part of BIDF, we are excited to welcome back the inclusive dance project Critical Mass for their world premiere performance, SENSE. Birmingham's mass tap-dancing extravaganza, Tappin' In, has its grand finale in Brindley Place for the city's largest tap-dancing lesson and Shim Sham.

June 17 marks the launch of Birmingham 2022 Festival's multi-genre concept album, On Record, a sonic love letter to Birmingham. Featuring 11 brand-new tracks from the likes of UB40, Dapz on the Map and Bambi Bains, On Record will be available to stream on all platforms as well as a limited vinyl release. On Record: In Conversation events are ongoing in June, with a special On Record Live performance from Elle Chante.

Acclaimed Guyanese-British artist Hew Locke reimagines the Queen Victoria statue in Victoria Square for his first temporary public sculpture with Ikon Gallery, Foreign Exchange. Birmingham City Centre also sees the launch of Jacob Chandler's One Giant Leap for Humankind. With sport and art going hand in hand, Chandler's sculpture captures an athlete full of power and dynamism.

Eastside Projects launches their series of exhibitions, kicking off with Amy Lam's Looty Goes to Heaven, an animation piece exploring the life of the Pekinese dog taken from China and gifted to Queen Victoria. Rajni Perera's large-scale exhibition, Traveller, builds a complex, energised diaspora of climate refugees, habitats and survival mechanisms set against rapidly transforming landscapes.

Towards the end of June, and in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games, Fierce continues their 25 th celebrations with Healing Gardens of Bab. The festival champions queer culture and histories through performances, artworks and events featuring queer artists and collectives from across the Commonwealth.
