A video recording of the first walk · listen · cafe in 2024, exploring a cultural history of the Black Country (in the West Midlands of the UK) through the lens of walking artist and photographer Tom Hicks. Black Country Type is his ongoing photographic project.
A series of images distributed via Instagram, in which he applies his unique aesthetic to the Black Country region of the West Midlands, with a strong emphasis on colour, focusing on words, typography, handmade lettering and signs. He also photographs ‘types’ of architectural features, objects and the post-industrial landscape of the area.
“Some parts of the Black Country feel like the land that planning forgot. There are improvised and patched-up structures all over the region.“
