Significant Features ..a project of the Modern Gazetteer

Significant Features ..a project of the Modern Gazetteer An upcoming art exhibition in partnership with Birmingham City University, Birmingham Library and Bournville Village Trust.

Significant Features showcases the creative talent of students at Birmingham City University and the site-responsive work they have made with Bournville as their focus. Along side extraordinary material from the Bournville Village Archive ten students will present their work. Having used a variety of creative techniques including video, sculpture and photography Significant Features presents conte

mporary insights into the village’s iconic architectural design and examine the experiences of Bournville residents. Famous for its chocolate-making heritage, Bournville is a site of regional and national importance because of its inception as a ‘model village’. Founded in 1900 by the Cadbury family, it was built to be an ideal community both architecturally and socially. Using themes of surveying the exhibition will examine the architectural highlights of Bournville and through the creative use of archive material express the experiences of residents past and present to make us questions what it is that creates a sense of community.
