In Memoriam Birmingham
8th-16th May 2021
BrumYODO and Birmingham Hippodrome are delighted to have brought In Memoriam – an open-air art installation by internationally renowned artist Luke Jerram – to Birmingham as part of this year’s A Matter of Life & Death Festival.
Presented in the open air at Aston Park in Birmingham from 8th–16th May, In Memoriam was a temporary memorial for the public to visit and remember all those who have died during the COVID-19 pandemic and to pay tribute to all the NHS health and care workers who have been risking their lives during the crisis.
During our festival and beyond community groups and individuals have been making their own In Memoriam inspired flags, you can see them in our gallery here.
Instructions to make your own flag are here.
