Spit It Out
Spit it out are an award-winning organisation (SCIO) aiming to build connections and provide a platform for discussions around trauma and healing through creativity. Our approach to all the work we do is founded in the provision of education, open discussion and support on these subjects often portrayed as taboo and which can lead to trauma : Consent, Sex ed, Racism, LGBTQIA+ rights; mental illnesses, body image. We wish to spread awareness of our project through a variety of art forms and inclusive creative events to challenge people’s perceptions about these topics as a means to get people talking.
SIO, founded in Edinburgh in 2019 after the production of the BBC-commissioned documentary of the same name, is an award-winning collective of creatives focused on bringing to light topics that are not afforded attention or spoken about due to the structural inequality of our society: mental health; racism; LGBTQIA+ rights; sexual consent and trauma. We realise the overarching goals of our project through collaborating in a variety of creative mediums such as performance, workshops, digital content creation and filmmaking. Our approach to all the work we do is founded in the provision of education, open discussion and support on these subjects often portrayed as taboo or underrepresented in mainstream media. In discussing them openly and sensitively we aim to not only educate, but to provide outlets for communities often overlooked, marginalised or not regularly given a platform to creatively explore how said topics have affected them.We believe that by providing means for those from queer and LGBTQIA+ communities, BIPoC communities, those of all abilities and means, femme-identifying and all other individuals at the intersection of all of these selves, we can create a safe and sustainable community for creativity and education that is available to all, crucially acting as a bridge between those already integrated into ostracised groups and those who find themselves in the majority.
