VISION
Celebrating queer culture, connecting our community, inspiring your creativity.
Mission
Andro and Eve create unique, feel good, accessible events that celebrate queer culture. We programme arts and culture focusing on voices that are otherwise marginalised within the LGBTQIA community. We provide opportunities for people to come together, develop their understanding, and share in memorable experiences.
Values
Unique & Playful
We create high quality events and products with a sense of play, and believe creativity needs space, time and resources in order to flourish.
Representative & Accessible
We programme artistic content that is representative of a broad range of identities and experiences, and aim to create spaces that are accessible to all.
Empowering and Proud
We are proud of our lived experiences and aim to create opportunities that empower others to embrace their full selves and develop their own creativity, skills and talents.
OUR STORY
Andro and Eve is a queer arts organisation based in Sheffield. Our programme provides inclusive and accessible projects and events for the LGBTQ+ community and friends to enjoy queer culture, and connect with one another in Sheffield and across South Yorkshire.
Andro and Eve was originally created in 2016, in response to a lack of accessible offers to enjoy queer culture in Sheffield. We are the creators of one of the UK’s largest drag king cabarets, The Kingdom Come and our queer cabaret, A Reyt Queer Do has been lighting up the South Yorkshire scene, providing a platform for fresh queer talent, since 2017.
Since 2022 we have been collaborating with Ghetto Fabulous, an arts organisation championing the work of QTIPOC creatives, and together we produced Sheffield’s first Reyt Queer Extravaganza in July 2022. Since then, in collaboration with Ghetto Fabulous we have delivered queer dance workshops for LGBTQ+ people in Sheffield.
Andro and Eve operates as a not for profit social enterprise with a board of volunteer non executive directors who represent the community we serve and help strategically guide the organisation.
We have collaborated with organisations including Barnsley Civic, Right Up Our Street, Ghetto Fabulous, Site Gallery, Our Mel, SheFest Sheffield, Rainbow Noir, Theatre Deli Sheffield, and Cast in Doncaster.
Since 2020, in response to COVID-19, our creative workshop offer has included an online delivery model, and we have published three zines featuring the voices of LGBTQ+ people from across the North of England. Since 2021 we have offered Gender Awareness Training, working with organisations across the UK to develop understanding around equity for trans and non-binary people.
Andro and Eve was originally co-founded by Finn Warman and Rhiannon Scutt.
What Our Audience say
‘Had a fantastic evening at Kingdom Come #3 in Sheffield. The acts were amazing, but also the organisers were lovely and genuinely disability friendly. It was the first place I’d felt welcomed rather than barely tolerated in a long time. I’m a bit in love with everyone involved and can’t wait for the next one’.
