Our vision is for a creative and equal Cymru where disabled and Deaf people are pivotal to the arts of the nation
DAC is disability-led and focused. We work to the social model of disability, acknowledging that systemic barriers, negative attitudes, and societal exclusion (conscious, inadvertent or unintentional) are the instrumental factors in disabling people.
“The social model is a way of getting us all to think about the things we had in common, and the barriers that we all faced.”
Michael Oliver
Art As a Platform
Art is a platform that can challenge negative perceptions of disabled people, highlight inequalities, and support socially progressive alternative futures.
At DAC art is used to educate and remove the barriers that restrict disabled people, their life choices, and right to live independently and equally within society.
All of our work and activities aim to be accessible and barrier–free. We embrace diversity and are proud to promote and celebrate the language and culture of Cymru in this context.
