Birmingham’s cultural juggernaut makes its monthly rumble through Digbeth’s coolest spaces with its usual immense breadth of imagination, invention and sharp smarts. Don’t miss Eastern Bloc Songs a uniquely inventive foray into the cultural peculiarities of communism and state sponsored entertainment at Centrala, and be sure to dip into Genderqueer artist Alex Billingham’s exhibition Ashes to Ashes at Stryx, the launch of Blackhole Club at Vivid Projects and Lucy Lopez’s Ways of Learning opening at Grand Union.
