Just to flag up that Disability LIB at Preston Disc are organising a Disability Arts and Culture festival in collaboration with an Italian arts organisation (reason being that they wish to promote the artists/practioners in Italy) with support from One Voice and a number of HE/FE institutions and local arts organisations/officers and theatres
Events include www.motiondisabled.com installation at PRI gallery in Preston with interview with artist, Simon Mckeown and producer, Dr. Paul Darke
Seminars on Disability arts as the cultural arm of the disability movement with Stephen Hodgkins, Director of Disability LIB and the poster at Lancaster University and UCLAN
Seminar on Disability culture, identity and imagery at the media factory, UCLAN, Preston with Dr Paul Darke
Film festival at the Dukes, Lancaster and at Mitchell Kenyon Cinema, UCLAN, Preston - films include Black Sun, Heavy Load, Frida Kahlo's Corset and The Real Helen Keller, Tod Brownings Freaks with introductory seminar by Paul Darke and Kung Fu Flid starring Mat Frazer with possible Q&A session with director
Comedy events with Laurence Clark at Media Factory, Preston and The Dukes in Lancaster
Stand up comedy and visual arts workshops at Lancaster & Morecambe college and Media Factory, UCLAN
TAKE; a dance in the park with Blue Eyed Soul in Williamson Park, Lancaster and Park (to be identified) in Preston
I hope this will be a mix of community fun, educational and of course serious debate about the future of disabled people and diversity.
