BBC Arts’ Culture in Quarantine initiative with disabled artists

12 D/deaf, neurodivergent and disabled artists based across the UK have been commissioned to produce new film and audio works for BBC platforms this summer, which is part of BBC Arts’ Culture in Quarantine initiative. The 12 new commissions will champion the work of disabled artists by helping them produce work whilst some may have been self-isolating, and provide a platform to explore their experiences of living through Covid-19. In addition, from the 14th to 18th June, BBC Radio 3 will be broadcasting a series of radio essays titled My Deaf World, written by a range of deaf individuals and people who work with the deaf community.
