  2. The Many Costs of Living

The Many Costs of Living

Disabled artists take to the street! The Many Costs of Living, our 2022 Adam Reynolds Award Shortlist Exhibition, is live online and on billboards across the UK now. 

Responding to the ongoing crises disproportionately impacting disabled people, artists Bella Milroy, Hanecdote, Justin Piccirilli, and the Kirkwood Brothers have each designed banners forming #TheManyCostsOfLiving campaign. Animated films are available to watch below, where you can also find an interactive map of the physical billboard locations.

Audio description of the artworks and films can be found alongside the work and BSL translations accompany the artists’ and curatorial texts.
