Time: 2:00 pm
Ticket price: Free (booking essential)

Theatre maker and Associate Director for Graeae Theatre company, Nickie Miles-Wildin, will be your key note speaker and host of this event, looking at the representation of disabled women in the arts sector. With a lively panel discussion chaired by Dr Erin Pritchard, lecturer at Liverpool Hope University in the department of Disability and Education, panellists artist Jackie Hagan, artist Cheryl Martin and Tammy Reynolds will interrogate this theme further, looking at how stereotypical portrayals of disabled women affect our perception of disabled women in reality.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share thoughts on this critical subject.

This event is inspired by the strength and revolutionary ideology of human rights campaigner Edward Rushton, who was born in November over 260 years ago and is also part of RISE Liverpool, a season of exhibitions, events and happenings exploring and featuring extraordinary female artists, thinkers and leaders in Liverpool.
