DaDa are thrilled to be working in partnership with disabled curator Gill Crawshaw and the Young Everyman Playhouse (YEP) Producers group to develop and share this pilot exhibition.
Over 40 years, DaDa has amassed a huge archive of material and memorabilia. Working with the YEP Producers, Gill will be sharing her experience and expertise in curating as a disabled person. The YEP group will be delving into their archive to share a snapshot of DaDa’s history from their own perspective.
