We Are The People, a small research team of Disabled academics and non-disabled allies engaged in disability research and disability activism, are inviting Disabled people from global majority backgrounds (Black and racialised groups) to take part in an exciting and meaningful research project. This initiative seeks to build community, explore decolonial practices, and utilise disability justice principles to guide its work.
The research will centre around art and creative writing, offering a unique and enriching space for participants to contribute to shaping conversations and ideas around these important themes. Participants will engage in a series of three weekly workshops, each lasting two hours, during late January and February 2024.
