THE PLINTH PROJECT
Handsworth Park Arts Trail also included the ‘Plinth Project’ from 2017-2019, which were temporary pieces of artwork displayed on the Plinth in the park for two to three months at a time. This was facilitated by Scylla Magda and Perry Barr Arts Forum, enabling a large number of local artists to be actively involved in a wide range of participatory arts projects involving the local community.
The temporary pieces of artwork included:
‘Grass Mosaic’ (2017) by Crafting Community
‘Handsworth Park – Beautiful All Year Round’ (2017) A screen print artwork on vinyl by Karoline Rerrie
‘Winter Scene and Snowman Mosaic’ (2017) by Crafting Community
‘Willow Nest and Baby Owl’ (2018) by Idiko Wu Wei Nagy & Crafting Community
‘Dr Seuss inspired Flower Character’ (2018) by Scylla Magda
‘Autumn Reflections’ (2018) by Scylla Magda
Set of three mobile sculptures of butterflies and a dragon fly (2019) by Sophie Handy and Crafting Community
