SUMMARY:Disabled-Led Creative Health OPEN SPACE EVENT
DESCRIPTION:It’s the lack of access to authentic stories about disability coming from lived experience of the barriers that we face that marks disability in the sand as an aspect of the human condition that is persistently negated. \n– Cripping Culture\, Disability Arts Online \n\nWhen we centre disabled expertise\, how does the landscape of health and art change? \nCreative Health is firmly on the agenda – for arts organisations\, public health bodies\, funders\, researchers\, and local and national government. Alongside this there is a growing emphasis on shared decision-making and co-production with people with lived experience of health inequality\, in and outside the arts. \nHowever research from Unlimited shows disabled artists are barely surviving\, never mind thriving. This event will explore and celebrate disabled-led approaches to creative health which centre lived experiences of disability\, D/deaf identity\, and neurodivergence. \nSpeakers\nAsh Cox \nPierce Starre \nEvent Format\nOpen Spaces are participant-led events where the agenda and discussion are driven by those in the room. At the beginning of the event guest speakers will introduce some key ideas\, principles and practices behind the theme and offer provocations for discussion. Together we set the agenda and you will be able to move freely between conversations. \nTicket Cost\n£5.00 \nWe also have a small number of bursary places available for those with limited funds\, please email admin@collective-encounters.org.uk \nAccess\nThere will be BSL interpretation at this event. If you have any other access requirements please email admin@collective-encounters.org.uk\n\nLiverpool John Moores University\, Student Life Building has step free access\, accessible and gender neutral toilets\, and 6 designated Blue Badge parking bay(s) within the car park.\n\nFull accessibility info: https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/edi/accessibility-around-ljmu/student-life-building\nBook Now
