Tia Parmar @tiaparmardesigns was commissioned to create new work for In:Site 2022. State of Joy, a project inspired by the campaign led by Joy Fifer to protect Birmingham’s Moseley Bog from demolition in the 1980s, invited people to contribute to an artwork to remember and preserve its story, and the unifying acts of local people to nurture and protect this green space for future generations. In:Site gives new graduates the chance to work with the public and learn how these kinds of workshops can become part of their practise and may not be just about teaching skills. “It’s helped me to develop an understanding of what I definitely want to continue doing in my career.” “It’s helped me through the financial side of being an artist, which I had no idea about before, and it’s really nice to have learned all of that through In:Site.” 🎥 @tv_trev
