Meet the artists taking part in DaDaFest International 2020: Translations.

After our successful call out in June 2020, offering commissions to disabled and d/Deaf artists or organisations, we're pleased to announce that these are the artists who we are working with in creating digital art for our online festival in November.

As well as those we have commissioned, we are also working with featured artists who will be bringing their extraordinary work to Translations.

Find out more about them below.

To make sure you are first to know about the art they're creating, and to get access to premiere events and exclusive artist talks, sign up to our newsletter below.
