About this event

Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery is hosting a new thought-provoking exhibition @Tight Control: Human Rights in Neon Lights by acclaimed disabled artist and activist Zoe Partington.

The exhibition showcases a striking collection of nine neon artworks featuring slogans that were used by the pivotal disability rights movements of the 1980s and 1990s and those that reflect the artist’s personal experience.

Partington invites visitors to confront the realities of discrimination, systemic barriers, and the ongoing fight for equality that defines the disabled community’s experience.

The exhibition runs until 29 November, Tuesday- Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. Admission is free, with donations encouraged to support the Museum’s work.
