Exploring the Use of AI in Non-Creative Practices.

When working, doing chores or doing our every day life – we have finite energy
levels and different ways of thinking.

Some of the things we do can take up a lot of time and often can be inaccessible
such as marketing, report writing and social media posts.

The next DAN meeting announcement.

We're excited to announce that the next edition of the Audience with… series will see Dan interview Jason Wilsher-Mills!

** The interview will be pre-recorded due to Jason’s very busy schedule. **
A brief introduction to the man with a CV which is so long that it cannot be described in a few words.

He is someone who takes his own experiences, his working-class roots, and a healthy dose of pop culture, and spins them into something utterly unique, something that grabs you by the eyes and pulls you into a conversation you won't soon forget.

He wants you to imagine a world where disability isn't a barrier, but a vibrant, technicolor starting point. Disability Arts Network D.A.N
