Tower Ballroom is a local cultural icon and site of much significance, memory and incredible stories from its rich history, as well as dreaming and imagination for the future of our places thanks to Bertz Associates and many incredible people in our neighbourhood through Dreaming Tower Ballroom, ERCO (Edgbaston Reservoir Co) and many others who are working to bring the tower back to the people in a way that protects the local ecology.

Synopsis
Reminiscent of her previous film Suspension, Thenjiwe will address the makeup of participants in the games in comparison to the physical structures. What changes? What remains constant? And what does it mean to participate in the games at all?
About Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi
While Thenjiwe is best known as a painter, her practice spans multiple mediums including film, installation and performance.
Thenjiwe confronts complex and often chaotic notions of identiy, race, power, memory, migration, and athleticism. The artists’ sharp vision for colour, line, and balance creates art that is about the act of painting itself, and the social issues that it represents.
