The Way Ahead is a groundbreaking collaborative fine art project devised to be newsworthy at a timely moment for equality law, however, since October 2004 when it was launched at the same time as new Disability Discrimination Act legislation, it has been continually in demand as a Disability Art protest piece. The Way Ahead was designed by artist Caroline Cardus to reflect the issues disabled people wish the government and society was addressing more thoroughly in an accessible, subversive, and humorous way.
