Across the Brent Biennial 2022 commissions and public programme we will be providing a range of access components for visitors. The work featured in the biennial spans moving image, multi-media installation, painting, sound, sculpture, billboards and performance, and collectively aims to provide something for everyone to enjoy.

In order to make this possible, we will be facilitating tours, audio-description, transcription, creative-captioning, guided touch and online screenings. There will be hosts at all sites available to support you during your visit. Due to the variety and number of works presented, as well as the unusual nature of many of our venues, access provision will vary at each site.

Most venues have step-free access or alternative means to experience the work, such as through online viewing. All access information for specific commissions and events, including for wheelchair access, is available on our website.

Alternatively, to check the availability of access provision, to request online viewings links, or to request any other specific access support please contact hello@metrolandcultures.com or message us on Instagram @metrolandcultures ahead of your visit, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

All venues will be open 12-6pm Friday – Sunday from 8 July – 11 September unless stated otherwise. Below you can download an accessible route to visit the Brent Biennial 2022.
