Arts and Disability Festival
Katara Cultural Village
As part of the Qatar-UK 2013 Year of Culture, the Arts and Disability Festival held at Katara in Doha was the largest celebration of disability in the arts in the Middle East.
The festival included live performances, visual arts created by disabled artists and workshops discussing issues around experiences of disabled artists’ and the barriers they face.
The Institute for the blind in Qatar (Al Noor) built bridges between organisations and families to change perceptions of blind citizens in Qatar.
Al Noor also held an event to encourage teachers to include new art forms in their practice (such as sensory activities), enabling students to develop a wider range of skills.
