It was great to hear from our 3 speakers at our ‘Creative Careers’ event back in February. They generously offered real insight and hugely practical guidance on their own experiences of barriers in arts and culture, and how they have learned to navigate these in order to be able to create their art.
Their passion for disability inclusion was great to hear and I hope it will provide some encouragement to other disabled creatives battling to be seen and heard. It has definitely motivated me to think more carefully about my own access needs in future and how I will get venues and producers to respect and support these needs.- Richard Boggie
