Now in its 11th year, BEDLAM is an arts and wellbeing partnership, raising awareness of mental health through a diverse programme of visual arts, film, spoken word, dance, music, theatre, live performance and workshops in the community.

BEDLAM partners are Sampad, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation (BSMHFT), MAC Birmingham, Birmingham Rep and the Red Earth Collective.

The BEDLAM Showcase is a celebration of the arts, mental health and wellbeing. Expect dance, music, theatre, burlesque, spoken word and comedy all exploring and encouraging conversations around mental health. The programme for each evening can be found here.

The BEDLAM Exhibition aims to showcase the work that participants have produced through the BEDLAM programme in communities across Birmingham working with crafts, visual arts, dance, drama, photography and pottery.  Throughout the year each BEDLAM programme partner has been delivering projects through a range of creative approaches all supporting mental health and wellbeing.

BEDLAM Showcase takes place at The Door from Thursday 28 - Friday 29 November 2024. The festival is FREE. For more information, visit: bedlamfestival.co.uk
