From Tues 31 Oct until Tues 14 November, the arts group Talking Birds has travelled to Coventry's sister-city Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) to curate an exhibition of video, sound, print-making, photography and mixed-media work, from artists working in both cities in 2006. Coventry and Volgograd were the first cities to be twinned in 1944. Do they have anything common today? What impact does a city have on the art that is produced there?

On Wed 1st November, 630pm to 830pm at the Guildhall, Tamara Rabinowitz from Israel, and Ayesha Aktam from Palestine will both speak of their personal bereavements, which happened through the Israel / Palestinian conflict, and how they met each other and became involved with the Parents Circle: Families Forum and the impact which this organisation has had on their lives, and those of hundreds of other Israeli and Palestinian families. If you would like to attend, contract Sandra Daniels on (024) 7683 1091 or e-mail Sandra.Daniel@coventry.gov.uk.
