We will be raising awareness and improving education around disability justice, including disabled histories and futures, art, and activism. We recognise that disability takes many forms and that it is important to recognise the intersections at which disability exists.

Disability History Month takes place every year, with this year’s dates falling between the 16th November – 16th December. This year’s official theme is 'Taking Our Time: Finding Creative Peace'.

Our exhibition, 'Let Us Show You', will be opening soon.
