N2 - There is a rich history of disability art in North East England stretching back over almost forty years, but much of it lives on in the shadows of peoples’ memories. This exhibition and archive is a celebration of a powerful movement and a vibrant community of disabled people who forged a path towards greater cultural freedom and representation, from the bubbling subversive world of the 70s and 80s cabaret and performance scenes, involving disabled artists working in a variety of artforms, and inventing new ones.
