Shout Liverpool 2024

Photographers: Dominique Murphy-de Neef & Caitlin Sullivan

“Thank you Shout Celebration for a wonderful few days exploring arts and mental health in Liverpool. I firmly believe the arts have the power to change people's lives, and we need to be using it at this time to challenge the unjust, the marginalised, weak and underrepresented in our society.”

“The content of Shout Liverpool was interesting and moving, particularly the dementia talk."

“This festival was an opportunity to bring artists together to perform, talk, plant seeds and look at how we use people’s voices and lived experience of mental health and mental illness to highlight the issues that affect us, and fight for change, thank you Shout Celebration for the opportunity”

“I’ve never spoken in public before about my condition. Being able to discuss this in a safe space was so empowering, as was expressing myself through my art.”

"We have come a long way in recent years to make it more acceptable to talk about mental health, but stigma still exists around mental illness and people who suffer are unnecessarily taking their own lives because of a lack of access to care and support - thank you Shout Celebration for giving us a voice.”

"I just want to say thank you to so much to Shout Liverpool for letting me be a part of the Festival, it was truly inspirational. I have made some lovely contacts with like-minded people."

"They could do Shout on the Moon, I would be there. I would love that actually, let's do Shout on the Moon 2030!"

"It's really cool to have the space that encourages people to just talk about their mental health and get it out there."

"Art helps to communicate and explain to others what I'm going through."

"Sometimes we don't have the words but this safe place makes us feel listened to."

"We need more of Shout. We should have one every month, let alone once a year."

"I'm so grateful to be part of something that has given me something to look forward to."

"It's a real eye opener to know that people are going though similar things."

"Shout is such a good place for healing and expression."
