A SELF-TAUGHT 81-year-old artist with cerebral palsy will be reflecting on his experiences at Chester Lane Library on Thursday evening (November 22) as part of DaDaFest International - a festival of disability and deaf art.
Jonathan Griffith is looking back at his journey into painting and drawing, his experience of living with a disability, and the changing attitudes towards disability throughout his life.
Jonathan has always been determined to remain independent. At 33 in the early 1970s, Jonathan left home and rented a tiny bedsit, where he was helped by friends to make special furniture that would enable him to be self-sufficient.
The event is at Chester Lane Library on Thursday, November 22 from 7pm to 8pm and will a British Sign Language signed event.
The event is free to attend - but booking is advised.
