British Council has commissioned On the Move to conduct a follow-up report to Time to Act: How lack of knowledge in the cultural sector creates barriers for disabled artists and audiences. On this occasion, the organisers are asking to fill out a survey.
The report Time to Act: How lack of knowledge in the cultural sector creates barriers for disabled artists and audiences was conducted in 2020/21 provided the first transnational evidence that lack of knowledge in the mainstream cultural sector is a key barrier preventing disabled artists and arts professionals participating equally in European culture. The follow-up report, to be published in 2023, will take stock of the learnings of the Time to Act report while highlighting key areas to delve into and act on for more systemic changes, particularly for disabled artists.
The organisers are asking to fill out a survey that is addressed to cultural professionals involved in performing arts venues or festivals, e.g. as artistic directors, programmers, curators, general managers, chief executives, creative producers, cultural managers, etc. The survey is available here in English, French, Italian, Polish, Spanish, and Swedish and is open to all professionals (disabled and non-disabled) including those who have no or limited experience with programming or supporting artists with disabilities. Responding should not take longer than 10-15 minutes, the deadline is 30 January.
