“This is our heart episode. Our seed beginning to germinate. It's the source of everything which might come afterwards”

The Ecology of Weeds is a series of walks and talks developed with Denise Fiddaman MNIMH, Medical Herbalist and Market Trader in the St. Martin's Rag market; one of the three Bull Ring markets in Birmingham UK. Our Grassy Knoll is an exploration into the medicinal properties of city dwelling plants and weeds that grow in the market area; illuminating the abundance in unassuming areas.

Sandwell Stories: West Bromwich Indoor Market

Rupinder Kaur's 'Songs with Mum' explores growing up between Handsworth and West Bromwich as a child who held three languages in her tongue. The conflicts she had along with my relationship with her mum, how music influenced her and drew her towards the beauty of Panjabi poetry and then poetry in general. Now West Bromwich is Rupinder's home and she couldn’t be prouder.

Rupinder Kaur is a Birmingham Panjabi poet, performer and creative curator. Her debut poetry book Rooh (2018) was published with Verve Poetry Press. She has also been featured in SPAKE Dialect and Voices from the West Midlands (2019) edited by Urszula Clark and Jonathan Davidson published by Ninearches press along with other publications. Rupinder’s work explores womanhood, language, culture and history.
