René Magritte, 'The Flavour of Tears', © ADAGP, Paris and DACS, London 2025
The Exchange, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, and Vivid Projects team up for a playful and thought-provoking evening of art, creativity and conversation.
Inspired by René Magritte’s The Flavour of Tears—a surrealist painting that challenges how we see nature—this event brings together bold new responses from ways towards something, a Birmingham collective.
See how cutting-edge environmental and cultural research from University of Birmingham academics collides with the Barber’s collection. And get hands-on at our drop-in collage party, exploring themes in Magritte’s work.
Come for the art, stay for the conversation, and discover how surrealism, science and creativity meet in unexpected ways.
