Hello, I'm Ash Cox (they/them). I am a Salford-based artivist (artist + activist), creative access consultant, facilitator and researcher whose practice is rooted in my lived experience as a disabled, queer, working-class arts and science nerd. I work with artists and organisations to create and deliver accessible and inclusive creative and cultural experiences.
I am a white, tall, chubby person in my late 30s, with black and green hair and piercings. In the photo on this page, I am wearing clear-framed glasses, a white short-sleeved shirt, patterned with sporadic small black stars. Behind me are watercolour graphics of nebulae, planets and stars, in blues, purples, greens and blacks.
I work with cultural organisations including GM Arts, MIMA, In Place of War, Art with Heart, Dibby Theatre, Unlimited, Graeae, Culture Warrington, Factory International, Marshmallow Laser Feast, Contact, Lowry, and the University of Salford. I am also a Board Member at 20 Stories High and sit on several community steering groups, including Salford CVS Pride in Place Pendleton and Salford Creatives.
