Our Life Stories
Our Life Stories is a co-curated selection of life stories from over eighty people with learning disabilities and autistic people. Featuring over 200 objects, including audio interviews, portraits, artworks and film, the accessible exhibition shares personal achievements while highlighting barriers. Together, these stories offer a powerful picture of disability history in England over the past fifty years. Interviews recorded for the project will be archived at the British Library, ensuring these voices are preserved and heard.
This exhibition is programmed by United Response.
