Creative Arts Charity The Spit it Out Project is back with their third Spit it Out Festival this June, 2024!
Their inclusive programme for the community by the community will bring 5 Performance nights, 3 exhibitions, 31 Workshops, 2 community lunches, screenings, a mini sports day and a bunch of other fun activities and events over ten days in 14 venues across Edinburgh, Glasow, and online.
Spit it Out is an award-winning, grassroots, Scottish based organisation dedicated to opening conversations around consent, mental health, and healing through creativity and community care. They collaborate with their community in delivering pay-as-you-can activities and resources to learn together and create a lasting change through an intersectional Transformative Justice lens. They focus on creating opportunities and reducing barriers for under-represented groups and offer trauma-informed spaces, where marginalised groups can share their work and everybody is welcome.
