T01027987868We've been presenting the Unlimited festival since 2012 in partnership with the Unlimited commissioning fund. The festival showcases new commissions, bespoke one-off events and existing work. By using the term ‘disabled artist' our festival includes work by artists who identify as being disabled, D/deaf, neurodivergent and those experiencing chronic illness, mental health conditions and more. We understand that different people prefer different terminology and we subscribe to the social model of disability. Our partner Unlimited commissions extraordinary work by disabled artists, with the mission to do so until the whole of the cultural sector does. Funded by Arts Council England, the British Council, Creative Scotland, Arts Council of Wales and Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Unlimited exists to change and challenge the world through the creative potential of disabled artists. Unlimited became an independent organisation in April 2022, led by Jo Verrent. Since 2013, Unlimited has awarded more than £4.8 million to over 460 disabled artists and companies, through commissions, awards and support. That work has been seen by or engaged with by more than 5 million people globally and online, making Unlimited the largest supporter of disabled artists worldwide. | |

T0970391153Unlimited, Southbank Centre's festival of arts and culture by Deaf and disabled artists, was first presented in September 2012 to coincide with the London Paralympic Games. The Paralympics changed sport forever in terms of people's understanding of the talent of disabled people. Unlimited provides the same platform for Deaf and disabled artists to show the extraordinary talent, range and perseverance necessary to make great work. Unlimited returns in September 2014 presenting an eclectic programme of free and ticketed events, exhibitions, workshops, participatory activities and platforms for discussion and debate. Together the events put the spotlight on Deaf and disabled artists, giving them space to present their work and share their practice. | |
