London Disability Arts Forum (LDAF) 2.0

LDAF is a disability-led organisation focused on promoting Disability Arts and the work of disabled artists. LDAF was founded in 1986 by a group of disabled artists and activists frustrated by the lack of provision for disabled people in the arts world. Access to the mainstream arts was very limited and the arts in no way reflected the experience of disabled people, who comprise at least 17% of the population.
