A Disabled Artists Manifesto

* * *

Not Going Back to Normal is a provocation about how things are and an idea for how things could be. This gallery manifesto gathers disabled artists in their diversity, rage, and imagination to call out the institutional ableism in the Scottish arts and picture a future in which disabled artists are central.

Our artists have responded to these questions in many ways. We’d like you to enjoy, think about and be provoked by all these works, and what they represent together.

The Not Going Back to Normal manifesto is launching on October 8th at 6pm, in a live online event. There will be readings of work from curators Sasha Saben Callaghan and Harry Josephine Giles, from contributing artists Jeda Pearl Lewis, Julie Farrell and Simon Yuill, and an introduction from Creative Scotland. Book your tickets now.
