Who We Are

Zoe Partington (She/Her) is an artist who works with viscerally powerful audio, visual and tactile representations to explore disabled people’s perceptions and experiences of space. Her practice is informed by her own experiences of sight loss that has taken her and her work on a journey as a tool for change. Zoe also works as a consultant, auditor and creative equality trainer for the cultural sector. Most recent art projects include Decoding Difference (2022), part of Layers of Vision exhibition Bush House London; and Domestic Landscapes (ongoing) where she has worked with diverse disabled women to explore the uses and meanings of their favourite household gadgets. 

Throughout all her work Zoe is passionate about inclusion and changing the perspectives and stereotypes which modern society often holds about disabled people.
