Helen Atherton and colleagues from Purple Patch Arts produced an animation inspired by research into the changing attitudes towards learning disability
Purple Patch Arts is an organisation based in Bradford, West Yorkshire. It works with adults and children to provide innovative education using the creative arts. In 2014, it was awarded a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to undertake a project that would uncover the social history of learning disabilities and record it in a way that was accessible to a range of target audiences. This article describes the process that was followed and some of the challenges that ensued.
