passing over the heads of the Disabled people and through the hoops
of the Olympic symbol. In the front of the group a young white
wheelchair user with purple hair, wearing a dark purple top and blue
jeans is holding an application form for arts funding. Behind the wheel
chair user is a deaf woman with ‘Def Arts’ printed on the front of her
orange top There is also a blind Asian man in a yellow top with a guide
dog at his feet and behind him a white woman in a purple top with an
arm held in the air above her head trying to catch the money. In the
front of the group is a white man of restricted growth with ‘short arts’
printed on his green t-shirt. On the other side of the symbol is a white
man in a grey business suit. He is holding a pound note symbol and is
gesticulating to the Disabled people. He is also saying to them: “I
thought you people would be used to jumping through hoops by now!”
