Bangladeshi Curry Houses

It’s a small world, sometimes I feel this should be the moto for my life.

I do wonder if in part it’s because Birmingham is just the right size for a city and connections are never far away

“Now, where do curry houses come into this” I can hear you thinking.

Earlier in the year I went to the art gallery in the city centre and saw a well overdue and brilliant exhibition on the history of the Bangladeshi Curry Houses in the UK.

Yesterday I went to a day long, “conversation” with artists and researchers regarding multilingualism, non verbal communication and how to use this in order to improve your, business and guess who was doing a talk at the event….

…Yes that’s right the wonderful man who was the curator of the exhibition, Mohammed Ali

I told him how impressed I was with the exhibition and he gave me a book. .it’s a small world

Art. ..Really?

I  went with my good friend and artist to a talk at a gallery  in Wales by an artist who has been commissioned by a few countries around the world to produce sculptures 

I am no artist I admit, but a collection on well placed  stones to form a bunker, or a whirlpool or a wall on a large scale is attractive but not art in my eyes.  The gallery  also opened my eyes to paper buried under the earth for a few months to absorb the minerals to create art and dead pigs anus used as a printing  method!
