ARTIST CALL OUT: SOHO SETTLERS

Updated: Mar 9, 2022

OVERHEAR ARE LOOKING FOR HANDSWORTH-BASED POETS!





As part of a project in collaboration with China Plate and Black Heritage Walks Network, Overhear are recruiting poets to help us create Soho Settlers, a new cultural walk in Handsworth as part of the Commonwealth Festival exploring migrant communities who settled in the Handsworth area.



COMMISSION

We're looking for five poets to write and record a creative piece inspired by the stories shared with us by the communities who live and work in Handsworth.


£250 FEE



INSPIRATION

We'll invite each poet to attend one of our Walking Workshops and listen in as participants share stories and memories of the area. Workshops will take place March/April.


£100 FEE




PRODUCTION

Overhear will produce the audio recorded by commissioned poets and pin it along a set route for the cultural walk, alongside audio from interviews with members of Handsworth's migrant communities.




Interested? Get in touch at hello@theoverhear.app to find out more.
