In keeping with our theme this year, Bounce 2025 was Not Just one thing. We had discussions in Belfast and in Derry~Londonderry about what it means to be making disability art today, and how our different identities change the work we make and how we experience it. 

We premiered a brand new piece of dance performance, took over a Belfast cafe with queer and disabled electronic music, and showcased D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent writers, comedians, singers and cabaret performers. We ran workshops and talks, exhibited art, showed film and theatre, and met audiences from all over Northern Ireland and visiting from elsewhere. 

They all got to experience the very best in art made by D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists from here and from everywhere. If you were able to join us, thank you for coming, and if not then make sure you don’t miss us in 2026!
