GS Artists is proud to host this workshop for Swansea University and David Turner.
On Saturday 14th November, please Join us for an afternoon of creative reflection on disability rights and what is still needed, inspired by Swansea University research on histories of disability activism and David Turner's Disability: A History of Resistance.
The creative arts are integral to the modern history of disability activism. The 1st International Day of Disabled Persons in 1993 was marked by a 'Party for our Rights', which highlighted demands for accessible transport and help with the cost of living through performance, song and creative activities.
Celebrating the ways disabled communities have fought for their rights in different times and places, this workshop offers the chance to try collage, postcard design, and other art forms. Materials will be provided and no prior experience is needed.
The workshop is facilitated by Menna Buss, supported by GS Artists alongside David Turner.
Participants who can’t attend in person are invited to send in contributions of postcard size artworks made from home in advance. Your images will be displayed to participants as inspiration for the creative activity in the workshop. If you would like to participate in this way, please complete the specific booking link above, to receive a prepaid envelope.
The session will last approximately 2 hours.
The venue is ground floor and we have accessible facilities.
Refreshments will be on offer.
Available to learners aged 16+.
