We invite you to experience I'm Me.
For the past 2 years artists with learning disabilities have been working with the I'm Me project to explore identity, representation and voice. The I'm Me Festival will showcase the work they've created to take control of their stories, change the world and have fun doing it.
The Festival will include an exhibition telling the story of the research, alongside theatre, dance and film from 7 participating arts organisations: Mind the Gap, About Face, Confidance, Hijinx, Lung Ha, Open Theatre and Under the Stars.
Alongside the festival, an academic symposium brings together international papers on inclusive and creative methods.
