Our unique approach stems from our leadership, which includes individuals with lived experiences of mental health challenges, disability and neurodivergence, ensuring that radical empathy and authenticity drive our work. Over the years, we have curated ground-breaking visual art exhibitions that push the boundaries of communication, depicting the nuanced experiences of mental health in ways that resonate deeply with audiences and participants alike.
By continuously engaging with our audiences, we are encouraging people to dismantle the stigma around mental illness, allowing individuals to embrace their identities and manage their mental health with confidence, autonomy and encouragement.
🇵🇸 As artists, we feel a responsibility to speak out against injustice. By signing the Artists’ Pledge for Palestine, we stand with its principles and actions.
We create accessible and inclusive work that centres the experiences of people living with mental health challenges and disability, and we actively work to reduce barriers and support the wellbeing of those engaging with our work. Our practice includes creating work that is inclusive, affirming, and representative of LGBTQ+ communities, challenging discrimination and exclusion within the arts. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
We work to centre racial equality by addressing systemic barriers and ensuring the experiences of ethnically diverse communities are represented and respected in our work.
✍🏼 We follow accessible working practices and fair pay in line with the principles of the Artists' Union England. Artist access riders are an essential part of how we work and collaborate.
Our work is rooted in lived experience and community, and these values shape both what we make and how we make it.
An accessibility menu is available on this website (bottom right corner) and we welcome people to get in touch to discuss further ways we can support them to engage with our work.
