Ladywood Arts Forum

Everything to Everybody?" is a cinematic exploration responding to a wider project connected to Birmingham Library's Shakespeare collection.

This poetic documentary delves into Birmingham's soul, weaving a narrative tapestry that threads through the civic gospel, a cherished Shakespearean collection and the future of Birmingham's Civic Infrastructure. It attempts to capture the city's heartbeat pulsating through time.

Join us for an online screening of the film, along with a Q&A with some of the cast and crew.

Rolling Out Brum is celebration of Birmingham's longstanding roller skating community, which breaks boundaries in terms of culture, age and gender - a true grass roots community tethered to the inner city location of Cannon Hill Park.

Learn more about the project and view the trailer here.

Screening at Rapport Festival on Sunday 31 March. 

About Rapport Festival:

Rapport Festival is about creating an African diaspora arts movement, is a call to action, and an invitation to not only ‘take a seat at the table’, but to be integral to building the house that the table is in. To be part of the movement as an artist, arts practitioner, administrator, participator, volunteer, or audience member sign up to our mailing list.

Founded by Lara Samuels (a theatre practitioner frustrated with the lack of diversity and opportunities for African diaspora artists and practitioners), Rapport Festival has been created to redefine the artistic and cultural landscape of the UK.

By placing the spotlight on arts created by African diaspora practitioners and artists from multiple genres and art disciplines, Rapport Festival offers a unique platform that celebrates and elevates African diaspora artistic expression from across the international diaspora.
