I’m an Artist Campaign to change attitudes Huge posters will start appearing on city streets as part of a campaign to change attitudes and behaviour towards people with a disability, sensory impairment or mental ill-health. Im an Artist will be launched by Arts Access Aotearoa over five weeks in Hamilton, Dunedin, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Each of the five poster designs features a photo of a local artist with their work, accompanied by the text “I’m an artist”. The artists are people with a disability, sensory impairment or experience of mental ill-health. The five artists and their creative spaces featured on the posters are: •Allyson Hamblett, a visual artist and media assistant at Spark Centre of Creative Development, St Lukes, Auckland •Kamini Nair, a visual artist at Sandz Studio and Gallery in Hamilton •Fraser Hoffe, a visual artist at Vincent’s Art Workshop and Pablos Art Studios in Wellington •Michael Krammer, a dancer and tutor with Jolt Dance in Christchurch •Tanya Faiva, a visual artist at Studio2 in Dunedin. Arts Access Aotearoa is organising this social change campaign with funding from the Ministry of Social Development’s Making a Difference Fund. The campaign promotes disabled people and people with lived experience of mental ill-health as artists who make great art, often with the support and guidance of community-based creative spaces.
