Announcing our new partners and advisors

Inspirate shapes, nurtures and platforms the evolution of contemporary South Asian arts, ensuring that South Asian artistry and talent is an integral and visible part of the arts sector, weaved into the fabric of UK culture.

Our work centres upon the South Asian diaspora, examining the ever shifting dialogue between heritage, roots, migration and intersecting identities. At the heart of our work is the creative alchemy, artistic richness and critical thinking that the diasporic experience inspires within South Asian artists and communities.

Our flagship festival is An Indian Summer, platforming contemporary South Asian creativity across a vibrant combined arts programme. Our festival is open to all, creating a shared space for people from all backgrounds to collectively engage in culture.

Birmingham Hippodrome is on a mission to provide that “goosebumps” feeling through memorable and extraordinary experiences. Our vision is clear, we want a “distinctive, world-class Birmingham cultural scene with the Hippodrome at its heart”. We see the streets of Birmingham as a stage, with programmes, productions, and events in collaboration with partners across the city.

As one of the biggest providers of arts and culture in the city, the Hippodrome provides over a million people a year with those same “goosebumps” moments through our on and off stage programmes and performances.
