Polska Britannica Exhibition

The Blast! Festival of Photography, Talks and Walks is like no other festival because it has been produced with, and for, local people. The festival invites 40 outstanding photographers, artists and curators to showcase work, develop projects and collaborate with communities to present extraordinary stories about everyday life.

With exhibitions, film screenings, events, talks and walks, Blast! is presented on the streets, the Metro line, in shops, libraries and pubs, on historic buildings and in community halls. The festival takes place over six weeks, shining a light on each of Sandwell’s six distinct towns: West Bromwich, Tipton, Rowley Regis, Oldbury, Smethwick and Wednesbury; it’s open to everyone and is free.
