Peer into displays where knives have been recast as art, and ponder what it all means. Ali travels north to Walsall, a market town just outside Birmingham, where he peers curiously into a series of display cabinets. In them are more than twenty pieces of jewellery and art recast from bladed weapons from police surrender bins. He tours the exhibition with Ben, Gabe and Ali, who school him on the meaning of – among other things – life and death, out-of-touch politicians, and the purifying appeal of Japanese religion. In conversation with the curators and youth worker Ade from the James Brindley Foundation, Ali asks whether – like the displays – stereotypes of young people and knife crime can also be remade.
