INITIAL PROGRAM LAUNCHED WITH 22 SESSIONS & EVENTS
One of the world's leading disability arts advocates, British artist Rachel Gadsden, has been announced as one of several high-profile international speakers at the upcoming Arts Activated 2019 Conference, Australia's leading disability arts forum.
Ms Gadsden, who has just unveiled a major new work in Paris commissioned by FIFA for the 2019 Women's World Cup, will be the opening plenary speaker at the conference which aims to help fast track the process of making arts and culture more accessible for the 20% of Australians who live with a disability or who are Deaf.
Produced by Accessible Arts – NSW's peak arts and disability organisation – the conference will take place at Sydney's Waterview centre at Sydney Olympic Park from 22 – 23 August 2019 and will attract up to 200 artists, arts workers, disability advocates, researchers, policymakers and other experts from across the arts, cultural and disability sectors.
