Join Shape Arts’ Creative Producer Elinor Hayes for an interactive session exploring how accessibility can be a generative tool for creativity, not just a practical consideration. Drawing on their experience of developing exhibitions and commissions, Elinor will introduce ways of approaching access as a curatorial framework - one that can open up new possibilities for collaboration, design, and storytelling across disciplines.

 

The session will also feature artist, writer and audio describer Joe Rizzo Naudi, who will lead a hands-on creative audio description workshop, inviting you to experiment with sound, language, and imagination as forms of translation and artistic expression.

 

Together, they'll unpack how access can drive innovation, shape your process, and expand who gets to participate in making and experiencing art. Whether you’re an artist, producer, designer, or creative practitioner, this session will offer practical tools and inspiration for embedding access meaningfully into your work.

 

As always, free drinks and food provided by Butch Salads will be available throughout the evening.

 

✨ And here’s the bonus:
All attendees will receive a free ticket to the Wayne McGregor: Infinite Bodies – a groundbreaking exhibition dedicated to the polymath practice of internationally renowned choreographer and director Sir Wayne McGregor CBE
