As part of our 'Developing the organisation' project unfolding through mentorships, we’ll be working with artist and educator Raju Rage to develop a better understanding of accessibility in relation to artistic and institutional practice.

Following Raju’s previous presentation of Under/Valued Energetic Economy at Jupiter Woods (2018) we are keen to reconsider the conversations we started back then, in the context of our current research and activity as a small cultural organisation, and learn from these in a different, more practical and strategic capacity.

Through reflecting on the physical and conceptual barriers embedded in the ways that art is produced and made public, our desire as a small organisation is to try craft a more holistic approach to accessibility, in a way that does not work as box ticking and statement-making.

We are happy to be accompanied by Raju in this process of learning and we’ll be sharing materials and conversations as they develop throughout the mentoring process.
