Disabled People’s Activism: Past, Present and Future
People’s History Museum
Left Bank, Manchester M3 3ER
This landmark exhibition explores the history of disabled people’s activism and ongoing fight for rights and inclusion.
Nothing About Us Without Us has been curated by four community curators, who all self-identify as disabled people and have been working at the museum since August 2021.
The exhibition includes protest material and objects, such as banners and t-shirts; many of these collected from disabled activists and disabled led campaign groups.
This exhibition has been created as a core part of PHM’s programme exploring the history of disabled people’s rights and activism, which has been guided by a steering group of disabled people who have been working with the museum on a variety of projects since 2018.
Suitable for all ages.
