Reconnecting missing audiences
We are the SICK AF Collective – artists whose lives and practices are shaped by health, caring roles, and geographical distance.
As the audiences most often excluded, we are not waiting for access to be offered.
We are building it ourselves.
Testing, trialing, and creating digital and hybrid cultural experiences designed from the ground up for genuine access.
Art Museum in a Box
Bringing art opportunities to housebound audiences unable to access galleries and workshops – to their homes.
Clean Air Access
Air quality determines whether an event is safe or inaccessible. A guide to measures to support health and access.
Digital Access
Digital access is how people who cannot walk through your door experience your work, on equal terms.
“Audiences are not lost to alternative, online and remote viewing – they are missing audiences.”
Dynamic Bodies
Supporting dynamic health conditions helps people navigating unpredictable limits while still take part in a flexible way.
Visual Story Access
A step-by-step picture guide of how to get there, what the space looks like, what will happen, and any rules or routines in place.
See previous examples of access in exhibitions >
Tactile Box
A tactile box of materials that can be touched, as making artwork is a very sensory experience for the artists.
“Without dedicated access options – like digital, clean air, and flexible models – whole communities remain excluded.”
We acknowledge lived experience.
…
We understand people know their bodies and limits best.
…
We recognise that everyone has different access needs.
