Plague and pestilence, fire, and rebellion
Like many similar organisations, the current pandemic forced us to change the way we go about things. We may not be able to support people with complex needs to enjoy the public spaces of London’s fabulous cultural venues, but our remote service does allow them to keep finding creative inspiration in the vast online collections of places like The V&A, The Science Museum and the Tate galleries. Virtual workshops mean they can stay in touch with one another and share the joy of making art and performing together. The recently completed Magic Kimono project was an expression of that joy; it was colourful, fun and uplifting at a time of foreboding and uncertainty.
