Curated Space Archive

Introduction by Pádraig Naughton, Director of Arts & Disability Ireland

For at least the last three decades there has been considerable debate around the relevancy of disability arts and the emergence of a disability culture in an Irish context.  Consequently it seems appropriate that for this first curated space, we present a series of essays describing the English, Welsh and Irish experiences.  Taken from ADI’s publication Face On – Disability Arts from Ireland and Beyond, Allen Sutherland, Maggie Hampton, Michael Morgan and Donal Toolan reflect on the thinking and practice that has shaped disability arts on these islands.

About Curated Space

Through Curated Space we will explore how the web and new technologies inspires and supports art-making by disabled arts practitioners, both now and in the future. In time the Archive function of Curated Space will support the collation of an online database of commissioned Net and new media work by artists with disabilities.
