Jamie Hale and Lucy Webster, in conversation with Lalah-Simone Springer
Join us for a unique event, celebrating queer disabled activism and creativity. Hear from Jamie Hale, award-winning poet, playwright, and Artistic Director of CRIPtic Arts, and writer, journalist, community organiser and disability advocate Lucy Webster, in conversation with Lalah-Simone Springer, poet, fiction writer, creative facilitator and performance artist. Collectively, their experience in the arts and activism is astonishing!
A chance to hear both Jamie and Lucy read from their work and talk about their careers and experiences in disability arts and activism. There’ll be a Q&A and attendees are encouraged to use the event to explore their own practice of arts activism and/or disability advocacy. This is a chance to learn from the best!
You’ll also be treated to readings from our wonderful eff-able contributors Cat Chong, Chloe Clarke, Rick Dove, Jackson Phoenix Nash, Claire Sosienski Smith, and hear what arts and activism means to them. A fantastic way to round off an effing fabulous year of the Arts Council-funded project, celebrating queer crip sex and sexiness.
Hosted by George Violet Parker and JP Seabright, with copies of the eff-able anthology (as well as our guests’ books) available to buy.
This event is BYOB. Water, tea and coffee will be available free of charge.
