Equality: Keeping it on the Agenda

2020 marks 10 years since the Equality Act. The Equality Act 2010 protects people from discrimination on the basis of ‘protected characteristics’.

There are nine ‘protected characteristics’ under the Equality Act: 

  • Age 
  • Disability 
  • Religion and belief 
  • Sex 
  • Race 
  • Sexual orientation 
  • Marriage and civil partnership 
  • Gender reassignment 
  • Maternity and pregnancy

The Stuart Low Trust opposes any form of prejudice, oppression or injustice and recognises the negative lasting impact that it has on mental health and wellbeing. We want to keep equality on the agenda and promote diversity.

Ways of Seeing: still relevant in a non-binary world?

Ways of Seeing: still relevant in a non-binary world?

John Berger’s ‘Ways of Seeing’ had a profound effect on how society looks at art. Its challenge is the way that we see art and mirrors the exploration of art and creativity that takes place at the Stuart Low Trust’s Art programmes.  We explore some of the big questions relating to the art world.
