Beyond Barriers: Disability through Arts, 8 April 2026

Donna and Ingrid have recently collaborated on a British Academy project, Doing Disability Futures. Doing Disability Futures is a research project that uses speculative and arts-based methods to address histories of colonial violence and ongoing injustices while storytelling alternative futures, disrupting existing knowledges, and challenging power hierarchies.

Upcoming British Academy Panel Discussion

We are pleased to say that Donna and Ingrid will be joining a panel discussion as part of the British Academy’s Age of Self series this spring. They will join a panel to discuss how the arts, creativity and storytelling can challenge stereotypes, amplify disabled voices, and open space for new conversations. How can art, performance and creativity deepen our understanding of disability – and create powerful ways to share lived experiences?

Exhibition

Alongside this panel discussion, we will have a chance to show some of the upcoming exhibition that emerged from Doing Disability Futures. Developed in partnership with the community organisation The Love Tank, the exhibition uses speculative and arts-based methods to share stories from disabled people of colour and migrants from marginalised LGBTQ+ communities in the UK. The work explores issues such as histories of colonial violence and ongoing injustices, while imagining alternative futures, disrupting dominant forms of knowledge, and challenging existing power hierarchies.

The exhibition also includes a collaboration with artist-in-residence Lynne Zakhour, who has created original illustrations that engage with the project’s case studies and the emerging themes of the research.
