Singer-songwriter Marcus Barr has just released his video of Any Old Iron, about life in Canning Town in 2012. This was the highlight of a well-received set at our festival relaunch at the Hub in Canning Town on Wednesday 21st November, and can be found on the Performances section of our website.
Following a highly successful Photography workshop with Ian Farrant last Thursday, we have agreed to launch a Together! Photographers' & Filmmakers' group in the New Year and have already set up a Yahoo group so that people who are interested can stay in touch. The group will be Newham-based but open to all. To join the Yahoo group, email togetherphotofilm-subscribe@yahoogroups.co.uk
Our exhibition of work by 45 locally based disabled artists continues at the Hub, 123 Star Lane, London E16 4PZ. We had a great review of the exhibition and last Wednesday's relaunch event from Disability Arts Online.
These are just part of a rich programme of free events being organised by the UK Disabled People’s Council (UKDPC) to celebrate Disability History Month (22nd November to 22nd December), as part of the Together! 2012 festival of Disability Arts, Culture and Human Rights.
