Ethos
At the heart of our work lie inclusive principles, embracing themes of queer, feminist heritage, and social justice. We explore the complexities of identity, championing an intersectional approach to art that challenges essentialist viewpoints. Heads Bodies Legs is dedicated to fostering safer spaces for community discourse and offering creative avenues to individuals without the economic privilege of family wealth or private education. Our projects nurture ongoing conversations and collaborations across diverse communities.
Access
We are a disabled-led company which centres the access requirements of partners and seeks to be representative of those who have faced barriers in their work. We actively showcase work from underrepresented communities, including those from LGBTQ+, global majority, migrant, low income, single mothers, older artists, disabled and neurodiverse communities.
We are members of Artists Union England, and share their ethos of providing fair pay for artists and opposing artistic censorship.
