Our Mission & Values
Vision, or What we want to achieve:
To lift the capacity of learning disabled people to influence change
Mission, or How we work towards our vision:
Spectra is a creative collective rooted in radical inclusion, people and place.
We create new spaces with people rather than simply finding ways to include them in exclusive spaces. Bringing a wide range of art forms into play, we co-create interactive experiences:
- Performance
- Installation
- Workshops
- Training.
Values, or Guiding principles of our work:
Nourishing Spaces
We seek playful, brave and meaningful ways of being together that nurture a sense of belonging
Sensory Beings
We recognise our place within nature and our responsibility for its care
True Collaboration
We’re curious about contributions in all forms, providing equitable support and developing agency

What People Say
‘Spectra has been important to me because it lets me show people what I can do. It lets us show off our talents. I don’t like change and I’m adapting to other people’s abilities and meeting new people with different abilities and getting used to them, which is a good thing.’ – Spectra Participant
