SHOUT - Festival of Queer Arts & Culture

About

SHOUT grew out of a desire to celebrate and promote the diversity of Birmingham’s LGBT cultural community. Launching in 2009, SHOUT Festival (a project of Birmingham LGBTQ+) was created as a direct response to a significant lack of representation for of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer in Birmingham’s arts venues.
 

Each year since they have grown and changed building in ambition and taking on new challenges, they've been a film festival and an arts festival, they've worked in different venues, they've started new conversations and taken on new shapes and ideas. In recent years they have developed a robust and dynamic annual festival taking place for a number of days each November.
