The Shape Open 2017 - 'Power: The Politics of Disability' – is a group exhibition of artwork produced and curated by disabiliy-led arts organisation Shape Arts.
About
The Shape Open 2017 - 'Power: The Politics of Disability' – is a group exhibition of artwork created by both disabled and non-disabled artists in response to themes such as: how do we creatively challenge the language of power, politics and disability? To what extent do we need art to be a form of political protest? Where do art, disability and politics meet? How powerful are disabled people?
The Open is an annual exhibition produced and curated by Shape Arts - www.shapearts.org.uk. Supported by artist Yinka Shonibare MBE as its Patron, it provides a valuable space where disabled and non-disabled artists can discuss views and ideas about issues and topics which are often sidelined within artistic debate.
