Artist Rudy Kanhye explores the forgotten histories of indentured immigration, uncovering stories buried beneath layers of time, trade, and silence.

Working with archival materials and glass prints, his practice reveals the tension between what is visible and what remains hidden, reflecting on legacies of empire, migration, and transcultural solidarity.

An Unlimited UK Partner Award 2025 with Summerhall Arts, made possible thanks to funding from Creative Scotland.

Video description: Rudy speaks directly to camera about his practice and recent award, while glimpses of archival materials, ongoing explorations, and work in progress provide insight into his artistic journey.

Roy Claire Potter's sound installation extends a live performance first staged in Liverpool and broadcast on Resonance FM, into a month-long listening environment.

The work is shaped by an autistic approach to communication, where meaning is not only carried by words but through pattern, rhythm, texture and environment.

🗓 27 June – 1 August: Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff

Access riders are one of the things we get asked about most.

Not sure how to respond to one? You're not alone. So we made a guide.

Free, practical, and built for anyone working in the arts who wants to support disabled artists and colleagues and isn't always sure how.

It covers:
→ What an access rider is and why it matters
→ What do to do when you receive one
→ How to provide access effectively
→ How to embed this into your organisation's practice

Definitions. Checklists. Case studies. Real advice from lived experience.

Whether you're a producer, programmer, venue manager, or decision-maker: this is your starting point.

For some, a holy pilgrimage to Lourdes is all prayers, candles and proper holy contemplation.

For this mad bunch of disabled kids, it’s bevvys, mucking about and getting off with each other - and definitely no miracle cures!

Join four young pilgrims as they take on ridiculous rules, awkward exes, secret crushes, and the big question nobody ever asks: do disabled people actually want to be cured, or are we perfectly fine as we are?

A play by Laurence Clark Comedian.

🗓 22 May – 6 June: The Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool

🗓 11 – 13 June: Belgrade Theatre, Coventry

🗓 24 – 27 June: Hull Truck Theatre, Hull
