Spaces of Joy Week 4: Vijay Patel

Vijay Patel (he/they) is a performance artist, writer and neurodivergent access consultant. He crosses forms from live art, performance art and queer club/cabaret.

The work they make predominantly surrounds cultural identity, making autobiographical/political work to shift perceptions and uplift marginalised, intersectional identities.

Vijay led a session on access riders for Spaces of Joy. You can see their own access rider on their website here
