An evening of live performance featuring poetry, spoken word and theatre performance from black artists from across the region with a focus on the joy of creativity. It will also feature performances from 2 commissioned artists who bring new early-stage work in response to the question “What does Black History month mean in 2021?” Then join us later for our panel discussion where we unpack what black history month means to our panellists and what it could & should look like in 2021 and beyond.

These events mark the beginning of a partnership between Exeter Phoenix and Beyond Face so keep an eye out on Beyond Face’s socials for more events coming up under this banner.

It’s More Than Just a Month

It’s October and Black History Month. But this time we’re doing it a bit differently. Entitled It’s More than Just a Month, Beyond Face are taking over the Phoenix for 2 specially curated events celebrating and amplifying the work of black artists from the region!

We’ll also be asking what black history means to you, so pop in any time for the whole month and tell us via our response box in the foyer as well as some further sessions to be announced.

*Beyond Face CIC is a Devon-based performance company  whose mission is to raise the profile and visibility of Black, Asian and ethnically diverse artists, young people and communities in the South West.
