Join us for an AD Q&A with Colin Hambrook, founding editor of Disability Arts Online; artist Tony Heaton OBE; and Dr Claire Penketh, chair of the anti-ableist pedagogy special interest group and AD #35 guest editor.
The panel will be exploring issues raised in the most recently published AD.
Questions and themes will include:
We Are Invisible: We Are Visible (WAIWAV): Reflections on its aims and impact
Why has there been little engagement with Disability Arts (and disability more broadly) in the school curriculum?
Historically disabled people have been excluded from an art education that would inform a potential career as an artist. There is for example, a lack of role models. What steps are needed to both unpack why this continues to happen and what steps are needed to break this cycle?
Who can join? Anyone with an interest in anti-ableism in art and design education
Cost: Free but registration is essential - see link below
Date: Monday 12 December
Time: 16.00 - 17.00
