In a one-off workshop Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora invites you to discover and respond to the archive of German Jewish photographer Lisel Haas, who moved to Birmingham in 1938 after her studio was destroyed during Kristallnacht, and worked prolifically as a photographer, yet remains largely unknown.

In the workshop we will have an opportunity to look at Haas’s archive in the Library of Birmingham. We will then consider the importance of home and migration, and what it means to you to be a woman photographer. Dhaliwal-Boora will work with workshop participants to learn about how we can best amplify the experiences of migration and women photographers.

This workshop is aimed at womxn, and we encourage those who have experienced migration or have a history of immigration in their family to attend. 

Join us for a walk in the Jewellery Quarter exploring the traces of European Migration that has happened in Birmingham since the industrial revolution and continues to today. People from Europe have brought and still bring skills, style of architecture and food to shape this city.
