Arts & Health for Social Justice
22-26 June 2026
As part of the Jameel Arts & Health Lab’s global outreach campaign in collaboration with the World Health Organization, Healing Arts Birmingham is a city-wide initiative co-led by Birmingham City Council demonstrating how arts, culture, and heritage can transform health, wellbeing, and social equity.
Supported by a coalition of organisations and communities across the Midlands, this one-week activation will mobilise policy makers, practitioners, researchers, health and professionals, and communities to share and celebrate impactful work at the intersection of arts and health.
The initiative responds directly to Birmingham’s core health inequalities, lower cultural engagement in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, and opportunities to integrate creative practice into public health systems.
