🎉We’re proud to announce that The National Lottery Heritage Fund has awarded us funding for a major project to save the stories of the Disability Arts movement from being lost. Introducing ‘Cripping Culture: A Journey into Disability Arts Heritage’.

(Cripping, like q***ring, uses a reclaimed word to apply a disability lens to culture.)

The project will research the achievements of the disabled artists and activists who put disability rights on the map, from the late 1970s onwards. We’ll be sharing the stories through a digital archive, interactive timeline and podcast series.

Our founder Colin Hambrook will move into a new role as Heritage Project Director of Cripping Culture, after serving more than 20 years as Editor of DAO.

📢Cripping Culture will have national call outs for testimonials about the Disability Arts movement. We’ll be announcing more details in the coming months. If you have a connection to the movement and want to share your story, you can register your interest via a form on our website - https://disabilityarts.online/cripping-culture
