Climate change exhibition highlights black artists

The piece Mother highlights the current unnatural neighbouring of nature against man-made materials

An exhibition which showcases the work of 77 young black and dual-heritage artists is coming to Birmingham.

The installation is set to feature a range of film screenings, live performances and photography focused on the topic of climate change.

Reframe: The Director’s Cut was inspired by Planet Summer, at London’s Southbank Centre last summer, with the aim of empowering the next generation of black creatives across the country.

The exhibition launches later at Birmingham City University’s STEAMhouse.

Leah Moses opened her own studio to help businesses promote products and support artists with music videos

Leah Moses, 24, a videographer from Wolverhampton, is among the 23 artists from the West Midlands to feature in the exhibition line up.

She started her studio, Leah Storm Content, to help businesses promote products and support artists with music videos.

With Reframe, she was part of the team behind I Am Your Mother Dismantled, which explores humanity’s relationship with nature, especially water.

Ms Moses said: “I wanted to show how humanity is insincere in our attempts to reconnect with mother nature, as we selfishly hold on to systems that are polluting and destroying ocean habitats despite knowing the impact they have.”

Attendees will also have the chance to experience Augmented and Virtual Reality technology as well as motion-capture and podcasting.
