A creative & spiritual oasis in inner-city Birmingham
As part of the major project I am working on entitled ‘Waswasa’ we have managed to acquire a new space in Sparkbrook, Birmingham.
Whilst the new space we have created aesthetically feels like a sheesha bar or even a nightclub, social consciousness and spirituality is at the heart with even a space for prayer amidst the neon lights. Something alternative is needed amidst the urban chaos of the cities we live in.
We first experimented with such a space 12 years ago - a run down space in inner-city Birmingham transformed into a creative oasis. We now return with a much bigger warehouse space.
I’ve been looking long and hard for the right space in Sparkbrook as it’s the place where I was born and where my late parents settled in the 60s as immigrants…honouring their legacy to build spaces for us to gather and grow with strength.
