We would like local museums, libraries, councils, schools and colleges, work places and trade unions to put on exhibitions, talks and events during November/December 2017. So start planning and organising now!!!
Approach your local school to do an assembly. Powerpoints you can use are in the resources section.
We want to examine artists who have been disabled, artists who have featured disabled people through a social model lens but also to understand the attitudes existing at different times over history towards disabled people through their portrayal in Art.
UKDHM also wants to feature inter-sectionality in this approach recognising disabled women, LGBT and of different ethnicities and cultures.
We are working with Shape and their NDACA project, National Disability Arts Collection and Archive http://www.ndaca.org.uk/ who are mapping, collecting and cataloguing the Disability Arts Movement where the politics of the Disability Movement was and is expressed creatively. We are jointly producing a resource for schools and colleges as part of this year’s UKDHM.
