Performance of a brand new dance work, called The Junction, that has been created by ME Dance especially for this event. The company have researched stories into the people who lived in Erdington, Gravelly Hill and Aston before Spaghetti Junction was built in the 1960s. The area became a centre for migration as people from across the Commonwealth made Birmingham their home, including members of the Windrush Generation.
