On the final day of Learning Disability Week we’re proud to share our powerful film “See our art, hear our voice” featuring our artists Kelly Ware and Labake Anisere.

A huge thank you to for making this opportunity possible, and to Chris Payne from for creating such a beautiful film.

This year’s Learning Disability Week theme, “Do You See Me?”, is about recognising, valuing and celebrating people with a learning disability for who they are and what they contribute.

Our film highlights the importance of visibility in the arts and the impact that meaningful, paid opportunities can have on artists with a learning disability. Too often, talented artists go unseen. We are proud to work alongside our artists to create opportunities for them to develop their practice, share their work, and be recognised for their talent. ❤️

“Even though we have a learning disability I feel we are all artists in our own way with all our different types of backgrounds and whatever art techniques we use. I feel we should be respected and valued as a person and be treated as you all want to be treated.

Over all the trip and experience I had has been amazing I would say I’ve definitely learned a lot about myself through this trip I’ve grown more confident, learned new skills but also made amazing memories to look back on many years to come it’s been the best experience I’ve had and hoping to do more in the future.”

- Emma

On the first day of Mencap Emma reflects on our trip to Cologne last week and the impact working with artists from Germany had on her confidence, and the importance of being seen, heard and valued as an artist with a learning disability.

“I believe disability rights are human rights and having a disability where ever your background is you shouldn’t stop what you love.

The trip to Cologne was such an amazing experience and so grateful for everything the trip will be up there as one of the best experiences I’ve had.

Thank you for all the great experiences from the laughs and the memories we shared on this trip couldn’t be more proud and thankful”

We had a fabulous Day 4 of our trip, filled with creativity, culture, and crêpes!

This morning, we continued our creative workshop at , designing symbols to communicate with one another without words.

After a delicious homemade lunch, we took the train to Ehrenfeld Mosque, where we participated in a fascinating Museum in a Box workshop. The mobile exhibition format encourages hands-on exploration and community dialogue around values, identity, and social cohesion. Cam and Emma each left behind a mini personal museum exhibit sharing their values and beliefs. 🥰

We rounded off the day with a lovely evening stroll through the neighbourhood, followed by a delicious crêpe dinner.

We can’t believe tomorrow is our last day! 🇩🇪❤️

__________________________________________

Wir haben den vierten Tag unserer Reise in vollen Zügen genossen – voller Kreativität, Kultur und Crêpes!

Heute Morgen haben wir unseren Kreativ-Workshop bei fortgesetzt und Symbole entworfen, um ohne Worte miteinander zu kommunizieren.

Nach einem leckeren, selbstgemachten Mittagessen fuhren wir mit der Bahn zur Ehrenfeld-Moschee. Dort nahmen wir an einem faszinierenden „Museum in a Box“-Workshop teil. Dieses mobile Ausstellungsformat lädt dazu ein, Themen wie Werte, Identität und gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt aktiv zu erkunden und sich darüber auszutauschen. Cam und Emma hinterließen ein kleines, persönliches Museumsexponat, das ihre Werte und Überzeugungen widerspiegelt. 🥰

Den Tag ließen wir mit einem schönen Abendspaziergang durch das Viertel und einem leckeren Crêpe-Essen ausklingen.

Wir können kaum glauben, dass morgen schon unser letzter Tag ist! 🇩🇪❤️
