We're incredibly proud to announce that Desi Pubs, one of our landmark Creative Black Country projects, is featured on the BBC's beloved travel series Great British Railway Journeys, airing today on BBC Two.

Through the Desi Pubs project, we worked with six landlords and artists to create bespoke artwork, portraits, stained glass, mosaics, and handcrafted pub signs, telling the extraordinary story of migration, survival, love, and foodone pint at a time.

From West Bromwich to Venice, London, and now Scotland, The Red Lion Desi Pub sign is on show once again.

Creating new opportunities: Local programming in response to a major national touring show + International showcase for Desi Pubs.

We are delighted to announce that Creative Black Country’s Desi Pubs project is featured in the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

Writer Sophie Haydock has written a piece for Arts Council England’s website on what she found after a road trip around the country’s watering holes.

The new Desi Pub Catalogue has arrived and we’re offering a small number for a price of £5.

The catalogue features stories and archive images from the Desi Pub landlords about their lives and journey to the Black Country as well as images of the commissioned artworks and the Desi Pub project that has been running since 2016.
