Creative Health is firmly on the agenda – for arts organisations, public health bodies, funders, researchers, and local and national government.
Alongside this there is a growing emphasis on shared decision-making and co-production with people with lived experience of health inequality, in and outside the arts.
However research from Unlimited shows disabled artists are barely surviving, never mind thriving. This event will explore and celebrate disabled-led approaches to creative health which centre lived experiences of disability, D/deaf identity, and neurodivergence.
