In collaboration with Green and Healthy Frome, OpenStoryTellers have brought together four local creative facilitators to work alongside a collective of talented artists with learning disabilities. Together they express their sensory responses to an evolving climate in an exhibition entitled ‘Hullabaloo’.

This unique exhibition explores the beauty of the natural world and the community that lives alongside it while addressing the anxiety and anger caused by waste and global warming. Increasing evidence shows that people with disabilities are disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change. This raises an important question: Is climate change a disability issue?

“We hope that in this collection of art, photography, film, soundscape and sculpture we can elevate the voices of people with learning disabilities by co-creating work that celebrates neurodiversity and inclusion”, Annabel from Green and Healthy Frome.

The Exhibition takes place from 26th November to 5th December 2024 10.30 – 15.00 at The Round Tower, Black Swan Arts, Frome, BA11 1BB – including 1st December when you can pop in during the Independent Market. Entry is free and the building is accessible. On most days OpenStoryTellers artists will be there to show you their work.

Join OpenStoryTellers for a thought-provoking and engaging discussion at this free event. Bring your friends, enjoy the art and explore the impact of climate change on individuals with disabilities. Let’s raise awareness and introduce a fresh perspective to the conversation.
