RAD Art Lab with John Clark

Open to anyone who is deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent. This session is also family friendly but under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.

What will we be doing? Make pictures, create visuals, statements that describe your experience of being from the DDN community. Help John to answer the question, ‘What has changed? In relation to the Disability Discrimination Act and the rights of people who are DDN.

Chat, doodle, experiment with paint, light and be part of a film and exhibition.

Come and join Film Maker John Clark for a fun accessible and non-judgemental lab, where artist, Rose Croft is taking over with some art-based experiments that will be more Grayson Perry than Gainsborough. If drawing is not your thing, then tell us your answers to the question ‘What has changed’? And be part of a film and exhibition that will include your experiences.

Oh, and be prepared to have a brew and relax too. This Art Lab is part of a project called Reasonable Adjustment 2.0. The aim of the project is to mark the 30th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act, and 15th anniversary of the Equality Act. We are using these anniversaries to make artworks that capture honest feelings and experiences of what it’s like to be Deaf, Disabled, and/or Neurodivergent (DDN).
