This event celebrated the launch of The Onyx Collective and their first creative collaboration together: The Onyx Publication. The collective is a group of seven artists who share the lived experience of disability and racism.
The artists are: whatsthebigmistry, Ashokkumar Mistry, Miss Jacqui, Alexandrina Hemsley, Kuli Kohli, Ngozi Ugochukwu and Omikemi. Nila Gupta, the eighth artist in the original collective, sadly passed away in 2021.
The event included:
• Films by Ashok, whatsthebigmistry and Alexandrina
• Live performances by members of the collective
• An artist panel event with the collective, chaired by Amy Zamarripa Solis, exploring the collective’s mission and their first publication
The Onyx Project puts disabled artists and creatives with lived experience of racism in the driving seat. The project consists of three strands of activity - The Onyx Collective, mentoring and artist presentations - and it was conceived by Disability Arts Online (DAO) and The Onyx Collective founding members in 2020.
The collective is a group of seven artists who share the lived experience of disability and racism, nurtured and resourced to: create new work that results in a publication; lead on selection and commissioning; instigate its own programmes; be a critical friend to DAO and critique the wider sector.
