Critical Friends Open Call, Liverpool Biennial

Liverpool Biennial is looking for 5 people to join a new group of Critical Friends to help us build an inclusive environment for d/Deaf and disabled communities.

The Critical Friends Group will work together as a specialist steering group made up of people with lived, professional and caring experience of Disability and long-term health conditions.

They will hold Liverpool Biennial accountable as we transform engagement with Disabled, d/Deaf, and neuro-divergent communities.

The group will meet 4 times a year and be paid £250 for each meeting including preparation needed for the meeting. They will use their experience to lead decision making related to projects with Disabled, d/Deaf and neuro-divergent artists.

We want to recruit people with varied experience across the arts, academia, activism, care, education and health, to ensure we have a broad spectrum of knowledge when creating an inclusive environment for disabled artists, audiences and the team and Board.
