Disability Arts In Shropshire

DASH is a Disability led visual arts organisation. We work with arts and cultural organisations and individuals regionally and nationally. DASH receives funding from Arts Council England as a National Portfolio Organisation, Shropshire Council, Arts Council Wales and QC Data. Disrupted is a group exhibition that has been conceived for mac birmingham to directly respond to, and interact with, the arts centre venue, the building and its audiences. The artworks and installations exhibited here invite visitors to encounter the 'Other' - that which is different and unfamiliar, often remaining unseen in our day to day lives - and to engage with it in a familiar space.

Curated by Noëmi Lakmaier during her year-long residency at mac, the exhibition, co-commissioned by mac and DASH explores the sense of awkwardness such encounters can bring, and the unique experiences and unexpected insights that can emerge from them.
