This project seeks to be as broadly accessible as possible; it’s why we used libraries as hosts for our exhibition, and its why some components of the programme aren’t quite available yet.

Further information regarding accessibility of venues, podcasts, workshops and where to find audio descriptions, plain text versions and detailed documentation of all commissioned artwork can be found across this website.

Mob-Shop is a disabled and chronically-ill led project, and we are proud to be able to prioritise the capacites, wellbeing and fundamental access needs of everyone who has participated in producing this programme. Essentially, this means that we can’t rush things that aren’t yet finished.

Rather than a launch with fireworks, this project will be emerging in various trickles of content, including the ways in which we hope to be able to make the work produced as accessible as we can.

Whilst we had initially hoped to be able to provide virtual walk-through’s of all exhibiting sites, in the end this was only possible to do for one of them (coming soon). Instead, we have detailed photographic documentation, audio and descriptions, and plain text versions of all the artworks. We hope this will give you a really good feel for the artworks produced, and the settings in which they were displayed. We really appreciate your understanding of this given the nature of the project being produced by disabled and chronically ill people, where due to our varying capacities, there were just some aspirations of access that we were not able to achieve in the ways we initially had hoped. We also want to communicate that if there are access features that are currently missing, they are simply in progress, not forgotten about.

Please do get in touch if however, there are aspects of this that you think we could improve upon, add to, or ways in which we can support you to more easily engage with the work.

All artworks produced for the project have been documented in a detailed and considered way. Images on this site are embedded with thoughtful image descriptions and we have a range of audio descriptions and plain text versions available as well. The podcast is also fully transcribed.
