A Rising in the East (expired event)

A rising in the east brings new perspectives and ways of working that challenge what and who we value and asks us to reconsider the clock-in, clock-out measure of human contribution.

Imagine a society where artists are deeply valued for their innate uniqueness and supported for life. Where your artistic labour is valued and arts and disability practices move against the industrialisation of time. Where arts and disability is framed by new traditions, traditional crafts, community arts, digital fabrication and arts and health. Where co-design and collaboration between artists with disabilities sit at the core. A place where a disability perspective is bringing new meaning and ways of making to long held traditional craft practices and materials.
