ABOUT BRUMYODO

BrumYODO is a community collective aiming to encourage and support the people of Birmingham to have open and honest conversations about death and dying and mortality. Through creative and cultural events, festivals, debates, workshops and social media, BrumYODO is opening up discussions and ending the taboos around death and dying.

The more we talk about a subject the less it becomes fearful. Talking to those we love about death and dying also helps us prepare, plan and ensure our friends and families know our choices and preferences.

Our Annual Death Festival

BrumYODO is growing, attracting more interest and more members each year. We hold an annual festival called A Matter of Life and Death.This year, 2018, it took place from the 10th-26th May in venues across Birmigham City Centre, watch our short film of the festival above, have a look at some pictures on our gallery or have a read of the programme here
