Birmingham Blitz - 2,241 Reasons to Remember

Birmingham Hippodrome

Birmingham Hippodrome is currently producing 2,241 Reasons to Remember - a major art installation by award-winning arts organisation Metro-Boulot-Dodo to commemorate those that lost their lives in the Birmingham Blitz in WW2. Surrounding the installation will be a number of listening booths where members of the public can hear first hand accounts of how the Birmingham Blitz effected the civilians of Birmingham. This is a sneak preview. Metro_Boulot-Dodo and Birmingham Hippodrome would like to thank Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and member from Birmingham Air Rads Remembrance Association for the oral archives used in these recordings. 2,241 Reasons to Remember is a free event taking place by Birmingham Rag Markets from 19-21 November.
