Spend a morning crafting cardboard puppets with papier-mâché pop artist and performer Tat Vision.
Tat Vision is a Brummie papier-mâché pop artist and performer whose sculptures embrace parody, awkwardness and ugliness as tools to question nostalgia, celebrity and mass consumption. Spend the morning with Tat Vision and be guided to create your own cardboard puppet.
You’re welcome to join again later in the afternoon for a wildly funny show from Tat Vision that’s guaranteed to have you in stitches. See more details here.
Presented by Culturapedia, supported by the Creative Alliance and funded through the Place Partnership.

About Tat Vision
Tat Vision is a Brummie papier-mâché pop artist, performer and workshop facilitator who graduated from Birmingham City University with a BA in Fine Art in 2012.

Tat Vision reimagines figures from popular culture, distorting the familiar into exaggerated, imperfect, and often grotesque and daft looking forms. His sculptures embrace parody, awkwardness and ugliness as tools to question nostalgia, celebrity and mass consumption. Alongside his studio practice, he hosts and performs live shows and delivers participatory workshops across schools, community settings and cultural events.
