Meet the team

For almost 15 years, Shout has been platforming queer and LGBTQIA+ culture in Birmingham and the West Midlands- carving out space for vibrant, fun, and sometimes challenging art and culture. As we look to the future, we have shifted to a year-round-programme of activity to better meet our communities and provide a consistent place for people to find relevance and space!
