For her exhibition Leave A Light In My Room, Birmingham-born artist Ayesha Jones has been commissioned by Birmingham Hospice and Ikon to take photographs of, and document conversations with the Erdington Asian Group, north Birmingham. Supported by hospice staff, Jones’ photography workshops with the group provided a space for community members to discuss issues of ageing and dying well. This exhibition forms part of Birmingham City Council’s Compassionate City project, which aims to normalise conversations around death, dying and loss.

 

Leave A Light In My Room is organised in partnership with Birmingham Hospice and is supported by Birmingham City Council. This exhibition is presented as part of The Migrant Festival 2023.
