'Resistance: which way forward?' is a moving image installation with a
central programme of participation. It takes as its starting point the Nazi
programme of mass-murder targeting disabled people and, crucially, disabled
people’s resistance to it. As well as exploring a neglected period of
history, it raises critical questions for today. What does this history mean
for all of us now, disabled or not? How do we learn from it and find a
better way forward?
Created by Liz Crow and produced by Roaring Girl Productions, 'Resistance'
is now available for booking by museums, galleries and other venues for a
tour which will take place over the next two years.
Baroness Julia Neuberger says “Resistance is an important project which
raises issues of great relevance for today and will provide an excellent
forum for engaging public debate and challenging public ideas.”
The installation is suited to a wide range of venues – from community spaces
to disused warehouses, empty hospital wards to universities. Spaces should
be at least 60 square metres and be available for a three to six week run.
If you are an organisation of disabled people and would like to help us
bring the installation to a venue near you, please get in touch on
