Great seeing pogus caesar – oom gallery contribution on this site, I remember him working at cultural centre , handsworth then running wemas at holyhead school in 1980s. Fantastic set of photos which document not only the 1985 riots but much more covering an outstanding career in the arts.
Yes Pogus the dot painting man, Lady Diana came to Cultural Centre in 80’s and was presented with one of his artworks!
A good interview about his past.
Birmingham photographer Pogus Caesar talking to Richard Lutz about his latest exhibition, his days filming the Bullring under construction and how his snapper-career all started.
