Step into a space of inspiration, recognition, and community pride as Frameworthy brings its landmark pop-up exhibition series to Centrala Birmingham.
This unique and vibrant showcase celebrates the individuals who are shaping Birmingham for the better — the visionaries, trailblazers, and unsung heroes whose contributions continue to uplift and transform the city and its communities.
At the heart of this exhibition is a powerful message: that those who drive real change, foster connection, and lead with purpose deserve to be recognised, not just in headlines or fleeting mentions, but in the revered spaces of our cultural landscape. Through the medium of art, Frameworthy shines a spotlight on the everyday icons — the grassroots organisers, social entrepreneurs, creative innovators, educators, and community leaders — who are making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
This is more than just an art exhibition. It is a celebratory experience that challenges conventional notions of status and fame, redefining who we uplift as cultural icons. Every portrait, every piece, and every story on display has been carefully curated to capture the spirit, energy, and impact of those featured.
Visitors can expect an atmosphere filled with creativity, positivity, and a deep sense of pride in Birmingham’s rich and diverse communities. The exhibition aims not only to inspire, but also to remind us of the power of representation — and of the importance of seeing ourselves and our neighbours reflected on the walls of institutions that shape our collective cultural identity.
Whether you are a long-time resident of Birmingham or new to the city, Frameworthy invites you to experience an exhibition that is as joyful and thought-provoking as it is visually stunning. Come and celebrate the people who are helping to build a more inclusive, vibrant, and hopeful future for Birmingham and beyond.
Join us at Centrala and be part of this unforgettable tribute to the changemakers amongst us. Let their stories inspire you, and their portraits remind you of the potential within every community.
