Slow Boat x Birmingham City University

Slow Boat launches with a special event designed by Ikon in partnership with Birmingham City University. Students of the MA Fine Art and MA Art and Education Practices invite audiences to creatively respond to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals whilst travelling along the canal between Brindleyplace and The Vale (journey time approximately 60 minutes).

About Slow Boat
With the support of Freelands Foundation, over six years (2021-27) Ikon Youth Programme (IYP) navigates the waterways on board Slow Boat, a converted narrow boat. IYP are collaborating with creative thinkers and makers to reimagine Slow Boat as a local art school.
