Would you like to be part of our board, helping to steer our work and ensure we stay true to our mission and values?
FACT
Spectra is a neurodiverse and learning disability led, multidisciplinary creative collective rooted in radical inclusion, people and place. From garden installations to interactive performances, our work seeks to create new spaces with people rather than finding ways to include them in exclusive systems. With nature as our constant collaborator, co-creation is our foundation: we use it to dream up new possibilities, disrupt ill structures and manifest the changes we seek.
Founded in 2013, Spectra has performed to over 12,000 people and run 525 co-creation sessions. Our work is supported and enhanced by long-term partnerships with creative and community organisations.
