Come along for Carl Chinn’s lively look at the many people and stories that have shaped Birmingham.

Carl Chinn - Many Peoples. One Birmingham

Birmingham’s history lives in its people: in the families who have called it home for generations, the newcomers who have brought fresh ideas and traditions, and the neighbourhoods where their stories meet.

Join Carl Chinn in person for a lively and thought-provoking exploration of the many people who have shaped Birmingham. With his passion for the city and engaging approach to storytelling, Carl brings a human perspective to its history, putting the experiences of ordinary people at the centre of the story.

A city built by many people

Behind Birmingham’s buildings, businesses and familiar streets are countless stories of work, ambition, hardship and community. Some stretch back through generations of Brummie families; others begin with a journey to the city and the challenge of making a new home.

Many Peoples. One Birmingham invites us to consider how these experiences have helped shape the city’s character. It is an opportunity to look beyond the familiar version of Birmingham’s past and appreciate the contributions of people whose lives are sometimes missing from the history books.
