Stories of Making and Migration: Zohra (Kurdish Sorani)

Saison 2 · Épisode 6

mardi 10 juin 2025 • Durée 23:51

As part of ⁠Made in the Middle⁠ we have been collecting stories of making in the Midlands that are influenced by migration.

For over 20 years, Zohra has been reinvigorating the form of traditional Kurdish women’s caps, fashioning these ornate and vibrant objects to sell. Since seeking asylum in Birmingham, with the support of Brushstrokes Community Project, Zohra has not had access to materials or a sewing machine, so has been relying on clothing and jewellery donations and is continuing to make the caps by hand out of unwanted and second-hand materials.

We met with ‘everyday makers’ who craft for themselves, making at home, in a local studio or with a community. Through jewellery, pottery, crochet, textiles, blacksmithing and batik, their work celebrates the cultural and ethnic diversity of the Midlands. It highlights how craft skills that migrate with the makers influence creativity.

We met makers of North American, South American, African, Caribbean, South Asian and East Asian heritage. They tell of a love for making and craft. Whether self-taught, passed down through family or shared within their community. It has been a privilege to work with them to weave together a rich tapestry of stories across the Midlands.

YARNING: Tales from Birmingham. Episode 4 - Sarah

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 13 juillet 2023 • Durée 20:26

How can making with others and learning new skills support our mental health?

Birmingham based textile artist Sara Fowles has collected five stories of heritage, knitting and textiles in Birmingham’s Black community.

In this episode she talks to Sarah S. Sammy.

Sarah is from Trinidad and Tobago. She is a scientist by trade, but a maker at heart. She has always been, in her words, "fiddling with some thing or another", trying to make and create. She can’t remember a time when making and creating wasn’t a part of her life, in fact, she comes from a family of makers. This rich background of makers means Sarah was always encouraged to learn and try new crafts.

-

We're having a short break. We’ll be back in August with episode 5 which will feature the story of a group of Caribbean women who meet to craft in the context of making to support their church. This reflects the ethos of Dorcas Clubs, a social movement and form of craftivism which came back to England with the Windrush generation. -

This podcast series marks Windrush Day which, in 2023, celebrates 75 years since the ship’s arrival in the UK.

A podcast series by Sara Fowles about Black women knitters as part of ‘Yarning’ projects by Trevor Pitt.

This series was commissioned by ⁠Craftspace⁠, a charity creating opportunities to see, make and be curious about exceptional contemporary craft. We are based in Birmingham UK and work collaboratively regionally, nationally and internationally.

YARNING: Tales from Birmingham. Episode 3 - Venetia

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 6 juillet 2023 • Durée 15:15

Do you value the skills that go into making clothes more when they’re handmade? Do you follow a pattern or go your own way?

Birmingham based textile artist Sara Fowles has collected five stories of heritage, knitting and textiles in Birmingham’s Black community.

In this episode she talks to Venetia Headlam, a Black woman born and raised in Birmingham. She was taught to knit and crochet by her mother. Her family gatherings in her maternal grandparents’ home in Aston were the most memorable ties to her Caribbean heritage - paper plates piled with food, reggae, soca and R&B playing and the inevitable loud game of dominoes.
