Supporting Artists and Audiences of Colour at the Edinburgh festivals since 2018. Publishing bold new writing that goes beyond reviews ✍️🏾

Ryan Coogler's SINNERS debuts on Max on July 4, with a version of the film featuring Black American Sign Language streaming alongside the original version.

This marks the first time a streaming platform will exclusively debut a film interpreted in BASL.

Big thanks to the Fringe Society @edfringe who've supported this work with a much needed grant. The Fringe of Colour Database has been going since 2018 but it would have been impossible to continue without genuine financial support 🤑🤑🤑🤑

[Fringe of Colour @FringeofColour]

If you're struggling to decide what to see at this year's @edfringe have a look at the 285 shows (and counting) now listed on this year's Fringe of Colour Database - a comprehensive list of all the shows & events that centre Artists of Colour👇🏽

Beloved Glasgow artist @CelloSeales and provider of haunting cello on the new @Youngfathers #28YearsLater soundtrack is just a small push away from reaching their Kickstarter target for their new album Dearest. Help them along the line if you can: https://t.co/GjJBx4pqkS

I did a talk at a prison a few months ago and recognised someone in the audience. Like a lot of the guys he was making thoughtful comments throughout, but his face looked kind of young and innocent.

Finally I asked where I knew him from and he reminded me that we studied at Cambridge together. This was the last place I expected to find him, but when he told me he was in for @Pal_action it made perfect sense. My eyes almost watered with pride.

These people are principled and selfless. Their protests have come closest to matching the insanity of what we’ve seen in Gaza. They have shown bravery that puts most of us to shame, and they stand as a reminder of how hard we should all be fighting. Free Palestine, Free @Pal_action 🇵🇸 donate below 👇🏾

[Fringe of Colour @FringeofColour]

Are artists still here? Are audiences? Seeing a lot of screaming and a lot of celeb gossip. Time to find out if Twitter still has any sort of communicative value!

We are deeply troubled by Twitter's new policy on blocking, which has always been our first defence from racist trolling and harassment. We have locked our account for now, until we have made a decision on how best to navigate these changes (or until they are reversed).

[Fringe of Colour @FringeofColour]

We're trying out something new with these event listings, which will be semi-regular. Do you have an event you'd like us to help promote? Get in touch via press[at]fringeofcolour[dot]co[dot]uk. Events must take place in Scotland and centre Black people and People of Colour.
