2026 Programme
Disrupt Disability Arts Festival | 5 – 7 March 2026
Disrupt Disability Arts Festival taking place from 5 – 7 March 2026, is a disability-led and disability-focused arts festival championing the creativity, voices, and perspectives of disabled artists. Now entering its third year, the festival brings together theatre, dance, literature-based performance and visual arts, all delivered through relaxed engagement formats in Dublin and online that ensure accessibility for audiences across Ireland and beyond.
Disrupt is a boundary-pushing celebration of disability arts that challenges stereotypes. The festival actively dismantles barriers to artistic engagement, providing a shared space where artists and audiences with lived experience of disability can come together to reimagine what art and access can be. The unique festival is growing with care. Disrupt is a movement rooted in community and inclusion, focused on building a sustainable platform that amplifies disabled voices and reshapes narratives while celebrating the richness of disabled experience.
