About

Join us to celebrate the first day of UK Disability History Month, coinciding with the Southampton Arts and Humanities Festival.

This interactive launch event celebrates our different identities and labels through creativity whilst providing an opportunity to view art work of allies and of those with lived experience of disability.

They Will Not Take You Seriously’ by In Focus Education & Development

An interactive performance exploring themes of labels, their expectations and the perceptions they come with. This piece was originally performed and created by In Focus’ Develop Skills, Learn and Reflect (DSLR) 16-25yrs young people’s LGBTQIA+ group for an exhibition of their work titled ‘They Will Not Take You Seriously’ at God’s House Tower in August 2024.
