Digital Project: How to Approach Art by Artists with Learning Disabilities

As part of the exhibition Creations of Care by Nnena Kalu, Kunsthall Stavanger has commissioned five videos exploring how institutions and audiences can meaningfully engage with artists with learning disabilities.

The series takes viewers into ActionSpace’s studio in South London, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of a supported studio and the environment it fosters for artistic expression.

Through these videos, we consider what audiences need to be aware of when encountering work by artists with learning disabilities, why it is important to highlight their creative practices, and how to challenge the common misconceptions that often shape perceptions of these artists and their work.

See the videos below.
