Inua EIlams The Midnight RunSat 13 Aug, 6pm – 6am, Tickets £5

One autumn eve in 2005, London, too impatient to wait at a bus stop, a decision to walk the bus route led to six hours of drifting across the streets into the small hours of the morning. Surprised at the thrill and discovery of the peace and beauty of the city, it was recreated the following summer, for 12 hours.

This time it is Birmingham’s turn. Walk, run and talk with Inua EIlams and a group of invited artists as they lead you around the city on a Midnight Run. Exchange the frenzy and hysteria of mass media, pop culture, hype and reality TV for actual reality. The idea is to reclaim the streets, dispel the notion of danger after dark and try to discover after dark.

Can’t make the run? Come and find out what happened at a sharing event on Sun 21 Aug, 6pm.

For more information and to book your place visit www.macarts.co.uk or call Sales and Information on 0121 446 3232.

Participants must be over 18 and take part at their own risk.

Cancellations made after this time will not be refunded, unless we have to cancel a class due to circumstances beyond our control. Depending on availability, if after one session you decide that the learning programme you have enrolled on is unsuitable and notify us within 48 hours by contacting the Sales and Information team; we will endeavour to transfer you to another programme of your choice but cannot guarantee this in all cases.

While every effort is made to offer the learning programme as set out on mac’s website and literature, mac reserves the right to withdraw particular programmes and to change both the content and the pricing when the need arises without prior warning. Students who have already paid in full for a learning programme will not be subject to any price increase.

Full terms and conditions are downloadable from our website www. macarts.co.uk or you may pick up a copy from Sales and Information.
