Ikon gallery
It did not appeal to me because some of the exhibitions on display had no relevance to me, such as Robert Orcharson 'Endless facade'. It may be art to some people but I did not see the point of random shapes being put around the room. I think if he showed us more of a meaning behind his work it would have helped me understand his work better.
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery
It did not have allot of inspirational work related to my specific identity but the BMAG give me ideas of how I can present my FMP, such as paintings, text, photography, audio and film. The galley dedicated an exhibition space to the community 'Your Birmingham' where all of these mediums were used, it shows the richness and importance of Birmingham's history before the industrial revolution. A 20 minute film which the local African Caribbean group produced was inspiring because it showed the viewer of the story of one individual heritage.
