100 Verses for 3 Estates is a new artwork for Kings Norton 3 Estates using the form of a shared writing schema called a hyakuin (100 verse Japanese renga). Over a period of 4 seasons artists Alec Finlay and Gavin Wade along with residents of the 3 Estates will produce 100 verses in 6 different places, providing a new tool for considering the future of the estates, its inhabitants, its identity, its visions. The work will produce a book of the hundred verses with a dictionary of the 3 Estates and this will be supported by a series of poster-works emerging from each stage of the artwork and a film of 100 residents of the Kings Norton Estates reading the 100 verses in 100 different locations.
