Birmingham Festival 2022 presents Girl Grind UK's project POW! aka People Of Ward End

​

History of POW

​

Girl Grind UK have been working in and around Ward End since our humble beginnings in 2020 through our Birmingham City Council-funded project BLK+GRN. We learnt about the creativity, culture and bilingual tongue of Ward End by working with a range of local community hubs. POW has been co-designed by the communities we worked to celebrate the gifts, skills and talents of creatives, residents and women-led businesses in the area to be delivered as part of the Birmingham Festival 2022 Commonwealth Games community projects.

About POW

​

From June 2022 to September 2022 we will be working across Ward End to produce a documentary film that raises the creative profile of the PEOPLE OF WARD END, in partnership with Dolphin Center and Unity Hubb. Over 6 months we'll be delivering creative workshops led by artists and creative professionals for local residents, working deeply with hyper-local female-led micro-businesses and local leaders profiling their stories and of course premiering the POW documentary film in late summer 2022 with a private and public-facing screening for all to share.
