Dating back to the 1800s, Birmingham’s roller skating scene is a flourishing, diverse community - but it lacks dedicated spaces.

This community documentary explores the history of one roller venue, The Tower Ballroom, and considers what it tells us about the power of community action.

Premiering at MAC on Sunday 16 March, tickets are available now.

Lisel Haas was a German-born, Jewish photographer who settled in Birmingham in 1938. Around 200 boxes of her photographs, letters, invoices and more are stored in Birmingham City Archives at the Library of Birmingham. Over the past year, Bertz Associates has been scoping and exploring this archive. Join us to learn more during this evening of sharing and discussion!
