Adapter supports artists and cultural practitioners by providing resources and production support, while fostering dialogue and participation through social spaces focused on technology and media.

We recognise that Deaf people, disabled people, and marginalised communities continuously redefine technology through necessity, curiosity, and creativity.

This ongoing innovation shapes both technology and society itself. We believe in the importance of adaptation and in the ways communities embrace new developments, engaging with technology and media in inventive and creative ways. This positive movement continues to gain momentum around the world.

Adapter was created by the Dexamnei Project in collaboration with Surface Area Dance Theatre as a direct response to the needs of our communities. Adapter supports self-determined practices that strengthen and enrich diversity across the arts and society.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Arts Council England for its invaluable and ongoing support, which enables Adapter to fulfil its mission.
