English: Forward Together was a temporary sculpture by Luke Perry in Victoria Square, Birmingham. It was outside of Birmingham Town Hall from July 2021, but was relocated to Colmore Square by December 2021 (to make way for the Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market). It then remained in Colmore Square throughout 2022. But was later moved to Aston Hall & Park by 2023 and 2024. Can now be found in Lady Holte's Garden.

It was made in 14 days in Cradley Heath by a team of five artists led by Luke Perry, and is 13 metres long. It features 25 life size representations of real people from the Midlands.[1][2]
