What's on Calendar Crip Arte Spazio: The DAM in Venice Exhibition EXTENDED! Exhibition runs until Friday 10th January 2025.Open to the public, Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 7pm. Closed on Mondays. About the exhibition Crip Arte Spazio is a huge, joyous, and exuberant celebration showcasing the dynamism, wit, and grandeur of the Disability Arts Movement (DAM). The DAM aligned art with the fight for rights, broke barriers, and ultimately affected changes in UK law, while making great art about doing so. As if an electric demonstration of crip creatives have arrived in Venice, the exhibition explodes in the venue, with huge protest banners, cartoon panels, large-scale projected artist films, photography, graphic novels, and campaign merchandise. Learn more about the exhibition Exhibiting artists Terence Birch, Tony Heaton OBE, Jameisha Prescod, Abi Palmer, Ker Wallwork, Tanya Raabe-Webber, Jason Wilsher-Mills. Crip Arte Spazio, supported by Shape Arts’ National Disability Movement Archive and Collection (NDMAC), will also showcase archival work from the activist street photographer, Keith Armstrong (1950 – 2017), whose work catalogues the front line of the fight for rights and contextualises the exhibition.
