About this Event
We’re delighted to invite you to Social Justice and Learning Disability Art: A Creative Conversation, a thought-provoking afternoon hosted by Mind the Gap and the Institute of Social Justice.
Join us for a powerful gathering of artists, thinkers and practitioners to explore how artists with learning disabilities and/or autism are shaping the future of the arts, and how we can work together to build a more just and inclusive cultural sector.
The event will begin with a sharing of insights from I’m Me, a creative and inclusive research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
