At Kohetry, we believe that collective healing & individual well-being is important to ensure a better understanding of the world around us & the people in our lives, community & society.

This event will be focusing on men’s mental health & well-being.

It is vital to provide & nurture safe spaces for the menfolk & boys in our lives to safely express themselves in a way that is healthy & productive to their personal, mental & emotional growth to counter the echo chambers they may find themselves in where toxic masculinity thrives & festers into wider society.

With Western media propaganda, social media & the rise in fascist riots we’ve recently seen & experienced in the UK as well as the continued dehumanization of men from the Global Majority across the world, from Sudan to The DRC to Palestine & beyond, now is the time for us to speak up & destigmatize the narrative around these topics through art & conversation.

You are invited to a beautiful wholesome evening of live music & spoken word poetry from some of the finest voices in Birmingham & the West Midlands to commemorate & honor the lives of those we have lost to Mental Health & have the conversations we need to be having.

We hope to see you there. 🫶🏾
