About Together! 2012 CiC

Together! 2012 CIC is led by locally based disabled artists under the artistic directorship of international artist Dr Ju Gosling aka ju90, and is creating a Paralympic cultural Legacy in East London by making the main Host Borough of Newham into an international centre of excellence for Disability Arts. Together! 2012 CIC has already received significant recognition for our work, most recently winning the first Rotary Stratford East London Community Heroes Award for Outstanding Contribution to Community Cohesion in June 2019. With ongoing support from Arts Council England and The National Lottery Community Fund, we usually run a free year-round programme of creative workshops for disabled people and their companions led by mid-career artist Alison Marchant, and free disabled-led exhibitions, events, performances and screenings for everyone, culminating each year in our month-long Together! Festival for Disability History Month. We help to strengthen existing Disability Arts groups in East London and create new ones, and work to connect local communities with the developing Disability Arts offer in Stratford’s Cultural Quarter and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. “Together! is where the next generation of grassroots Deaf and disabled artists will come from.” Colour photograph of a group of disabled people lined across the stage behind cage bars, with words including Useless, Animal and Sad projected behind them Our associate company Act Up! Newham premiered When You See Me at Stratford Circus on Friday 23 November 2018 to open the Together! 2018 Disability History Month Festival. We also run the Together! 2012 Consultancy led by multi-gold medal-winning Paralympian Robin Surgeoner MBE, empowering organisations of all sizes to be Inclusion Confident as well as delivering inclusive events and activities on clients’ behalf.
