September in Birmingham City Centre just got a whole lot more colourful. As part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival, alongside the amazing Commonwealth Games this summer, a whole new wash of colour has sprouted in Victoria Square right in the centre of the UK's second city.
PoliNations is "a super-natural wonderland celebrating the natural diversity in our gardens and culture" a magical playground for all the senses created and produced by Trigger Collective and is commissioned as part of UNBOXED:Creativity in the UK that shows the wonder of nature but also the beauty and natural diversity around every corner. Complete with areas to sit, relax and recharge, listen to a talk by creatives, experts and intellectuals as part of their lunchtime talks or take part in a variety of activities in the Wondersphere in the adjacent Chamberlain Square.
The whole event is completely free and in place from 2nd-18th September, with different activities happening throughout the whole run, all available to view through the PoliNations Website whether you spend a while at the Teatime Tuk Tuk enjoying a free cup of Chai (available every day twice a day 11am and 3pm) or watching a performance at the Mother Tree Stage, the range of activities is so vast that I can't list them in one post.
Open from 8am to 10pm daily, with all paths around the installation wheelchair accessible and many events and talks having a BSL interpreter and audio description, it is a must visit for all over the next three weeks.
