HOT MESS ACCESS is a showcase of bold stories from young disabled creatives, told their way.
Following a supportive eight-week Creative Development program, five young artists share their experiences navigating the world as disabled young people on their own terms.
Bringing their lived experience to the stage with humour and grit, HOT MESS ACCESS presents the next wave of disabled stories that are bold, messy and impossible to ignore.
All creatives on this project are disabled, and all have been paid at professional industry rates.
Special events:
Fri, 6th Feb - Smoking Ceremony & Opening Night
Sat, 14th Feb - Closing Night & Community Gathering
Supported by the Town of Victoria Park, National Ethnic Disability Alliance and Youth Disability Advocacy Network.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
