Liberty 2025

Liberty 2025 is committed to spotlighting and celebrating the very best of D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists in Wandsworth and London as part of a joyful, radically inclusive festival where everyone is welcome.

As the Mayor’s flagship disability arts festival, Liberty is a bold platform for work by some of the most exciting disabled creatives. Working in collaboration with CRIPtic Arts, we will embed these artists at the heart of the Wandsworth community - interconnecting with schools, collaborating with local groups, and bringing artistic work into community spaces across the borough.

This year’s Festival will explore the disabled experience—past, present and future, as well as addressing topics far beyond disability, challenging perspectives, questioning norms, and defying expectations. Work will push artistic boundaries—across form, theme, and style—moving beyond tropes and traditional narratives to create something fresh, resonant, and vital.

In 2025, Liberty will fill Wandsworth with the richness and diversity of disability arts, with work that speaks to everyone—from children’s workshops to dementia-friendly performances, from community engagement projects to groundbreaking creations—and with access for disabled people existing at the heart of it. It will reach new audiences, bringing disabled-led art to local businesses, venues, and partners. 

CRIPtic Arts exists to create an artistic landscape where disabled people flourish, providing active disabled leadership which advances world-class arts work with disabled creatives. From high-quality community activities to showcasing breakthrough performers; they’re blazing a revolution in accessibility.
