Experience "A Gift to Birmingham" by Vanley Burke, presented in collaboration with the Ikon Gallery and the University of Birmingham showcased at The Exchange. This collection features seventeen poignant portraits of members from Migrant Voice, a migrant-led national organisation with a hub in Birmingham.

Each image narrates a unique migration story, spanning from recent arrivals to those with ancestral journeys, portraying individuals both in their own presence or standing alone. Together, these photographs create a compelling tapestry that celebrates Birmingham as a super-diverse city, encompassing residents from diverse corners of the globe.

"A Gift to Birmingham" is presented as an integral part of The Migrant Festival 2023, an immersive celebration that honours the diverse contributions and stories of migrants. Join us in commemorating the enriching tapestry of Birmingham's cultural landscape and the journeys that have shaped its vibrant identity.
