BRAVE Festival 2025 was Epic!

We celebrated B.R.A.V.E Festival on 18th and 19th October in Bradford. It was a celbration of arts that originated in Black culture (Black Roots and Voices Expressed). However that's not all, we still have ongoing workshops this year and into 2026, find out more here.

BRAVE Festival was a Brave venture – Black artists stepped out and said actually, the way our culture is represented and defined isn’t good enough. We want to be known for what we have done rather than what was done to us.

It’s BRAVE to change to focus from slavery and oppression to joy, inclusion and knowledge through the arts.

Its BRAVE to come back for a second festival that is even bigger and better, but best of all this time we have involved local communities to be able to express themselves through the arts and have their say on what they wanted at the festival!
