Access Ideas and Insights: Disability Leadership

Monday 24 November, 3pm – 5pm

Our final Access Ideas and Insights event for 2025 will take place at the Sydney Opera House and be livestreamed. An amazing line-up of speakers will explore disability leadership – a vital transformative force shaping the future of the arts.

We’ll delve into the profound impact and distinctive potential of disability culture within arts practice, as well as organisational disability leadership within the arts, culture and screen sector.

As we strive towards a re-balance of power and much-needed increase of authentic representation in the arts, we ask: what does ‘disability-led’ look like, and how can we best support disability leadership and self-determination?

This much-anticipated discussion will explore how artists with disability, d/Deaf artists, and community leaders are creating new vocabularies that reflect pride, identity, and lived experience.

Tickets and full line-up to be released soon.

To get the latest details as soon as they are confirmed, sign up to receive our e-news.
