WHAT'S ON?

Beautiful Futures Festival 2023

19-21 October 2023 | Birmingham Hippodrome

In a world teetering on the brink, rife with divisions and grappling with unparalleled challenges, the time is ripe for unity, understanding, and transformation. 


This urgency gave birth to the Beautiful Futures Festival 2023.


Beautiful Futures is a 3-day celebration and rallying cry, spotlighting fresh creations by Black artists in the West Midlands. This festival is poised to shape the future of culture and creativity in the 21st century, amplifying our voices, our journeys, and our stories, all in the name of a world that leaves no one behind.


From mesmerising music to powerful spoken word, captivating film, and side-splitting comedy, there's something here for everyone.


Born amidst the surging movements for racial equality and justice, the MTAM Pledge has grown from a promise into an awakening, and now, a full-fledged movement.


Together, we'll embark on a journey of exploration, seeking innovation, justice, and imagination, united through intersectionality and solidarity.
