Mohammed Ali (aka Aerosol Arabic)’s Writing on the Wall will see the renowned graffiti artist join forces with leading international poets in front of a live audience for a special one-off show in Birmingham on 21 January 2010.
The line-up for Writing on the Wall includes Zena Edwards, who has been performing as a professional poet for the last nine years. She will be joined by American poet Amir Sulaiman who has twice featured on HBO’s Def Poetry programme, and Dreadlock Alien, who was Birmingham’s Poet Laureate in 2006. During the two-week lead-up Mohammed will also be working with local visual artists to create unique images in the theatre space, before embarking on the one-night-only performance on 21 January.
Mohammed Ali returns to his hometown following numerous commissions around the world, including New York, Sydney and Kuala Lumpur. He has also gained worldwide media recognition from CNN, BBC Newsnight, Aljazeera and Reuters, and received an award from the hugely respected ITV Southbank Show.
Mohammed said, “I have been fortunate enough to create art in major cities across the globe, but here in the UK we have our own issues, ranging from the economic crisis to the problems that face multi-cultural societies.
"I’m hoping to create art that will inspire people with hope and positive change by bringing a bit of colour into some of the ugly conditions that exist in the world today, using the arts as the new language for change. People should not underestimate the power of the arts in bringing people together.”
