All of our events and activities take place online via Zoom and YouTube and are FREE. All events are led by Disabled artists, and our live events have English captions and British Sign Language interpretation. Events are recorded, and the recordings are later made available on this page to extend accessibility (scroll down to see recordings of the events that have already taken place this year).
Summer 2025
Together! 2025 Open Exhibition for Disability Pride Month (July 2025). The Together! Open Exhibition is a vibrant and colourful exhibition that brings together self-selected works by amateur, community, semi-professional and professional Disabled artists who have a past or present link to the London Borough of Newham and/or to Together! 2012 CIC.
We will be holding a celebratory event on Zoom on Thursday 24 July from 7-8pm. Contact nina@together2012.org.uk if you would like a link for the celebration.
Recorded on Thursday 26 June from 7-8pm: Rooted in Pride. Claire Beerjeraz introduces an exclusive online preview of her new show ‘Rooted’ for LGBT+ Pride Month and talks to our Artistic Director Ju Gosling. Claire is no stranger to the phrase “go back home”, but where are they supposed to go? An African island they’ve visited only once? Their unrecognisable childhood home, based in an increasingly gentrified neighborhood? Their local gay bar, almost entirely populated by white cis men?
