About the Organisation

The University of Atypical for Arts and Disability (UofA) was established in 1993 as the leading sectoral organisation on arts and disability in Northern Ireland. UofA takes an empowerment-based approach towards d/Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse people's involvement in the arts as audience members and as creative practitioners.

UofA specialises in developing and promoting the work of d/Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse artists and in doing so engages with d/Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse audiences in a direct and meaningful way.

We aim to increase opportunities for D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse people to engage with the arts, working on a pan-disability basis providing participative and networking opportunities, exhibitions, Bounce Arts Festival, the Ledger Studio for Performing Arts, training and other sectoral developments in equality, access and inclusion.

Our Purpose:

We want to improve the creative lives of d/Deaf, disabled, and neurodiverse people and help them access the arts.

Our Vision:

We want a society where everyone can positively explore and express their creativity, curiosity and talents through the arts.

Our Values:

Inclusion - we believe that a healthy and stable society needs to be built by all its people working together. We will be open to those of all abilities and disabilities and celebrate the diversity of the society in which we live. UofA operates under the social model of disability which says that people are disabled by barriers in society, not by their impairment or difference. We will oppose injustice and anything that excludes or marginalises d/Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse people and others who are considered to be different.

Disabled-led - UofA is driven by D/deaf ,disabled and neurodiverse artists who understand the needs, rights and aspirations of other D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse artists and acts as an independent voice.

Parity - everyone has an equal right to be treated with dignity and respect, to learn and develop, to access the arts in all its forms and to have their voices heard.

Human Rights - we believe that everyone has inalienable human rights which should be upheld. In particular, we support the UN's Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and will work to promote and defend these rights.

Excellence - everyone has the right to expect that all aspects of UofA's work are carried out to the highest standard. UofA will also support artists to work towards achieving the highest artistic standards.

Collaborative - we believe the organisation is much more effective when working in partnership with its key stakeholders. We value meaningful collaboration and partnership working.

What we do

The UofA has a lead sectoral role in Northern Ireland for:

  • enhancing the experience D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse people have of the arts;
  • promoting work produced by d/Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse artists;
  • elevating the public's experience of art created or presented by D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse artists;
