Welcome to the DAO e-bulletin
DAO is a unique journal for discussion of arts and culture - edited by disabled artist, Colin Hambrook
Purposeless Movements with pictured left to right: Pete Edwards, Colin Young and Laurence Clark. Photo © Mihaela Bodlovic Where are the artists with learning disabilities in the debate about diversity? What does work by young people with learning disabilities have to teach the artistic mainstream?
Big questions posed by the Is that all there is? conference in Birmingham last week. Bella Todd tries to find the answers. SICK! Festival's SICK! Lab took place in Manchester last week and was headlined by
Byrony Kimmings's award-winning show Fake It 'Til You Make It,
which lifts the lid on male mental-health in a deeply personal double act with her partner. We’re all well aware of the shortcomings of mainstream arts practice when it comes to diversity. But is the disability arts world any better, or is it equally exclusionary, especially to people
from BAME backgrounds?
DaDaFest’s Art D’Visions in Liverpool last week sought to interrogate and put forward solutions to this thorny issue. Congratulations to the BBC's
See Hear which won a Special Award at the Royal Television Society West of England Awards after 35 years on the air. Birds of Paradise’s new production
Purposeless Movements explores four men’s experiences of cerebral palsy. Sophie Partridge finds the show is full of surprises. Does art have to achieve anything? Shouldn’t art by people who want social justice say something that makes a difference? The NHS is being destroyed, what are you going to do about it?!
Forget all these taxing questions and just look at Deborah Caulfield’s pretty picture to cheer yourself up. Sophie Partridge wonders whether it’s ever possible to truly separate the personal from the political, especially
as a disabled artist in an era of savage cuts and inspiration porn. Where is all the work that’s mucky around the edges with a tea-stain of identity or streak of activism? Dolly Sen is getting in the karaoke spirit with a hilarious but poignant rendition of Sinatra’s 'I did it my way'…despite
section, injection and rejection. Sing along! Richard Butchins has some exciting news to share. He’s helping make an edition of Channel 4’s
Dispatches, has an Artists International Development grant to go to Japan, and perhaps most exciting of all, is embarking on an Instagram diary of the adventures of his withered hand. After a long hiatus, Gini is back on the DAO blogs with a bang delivering three new poems:
It never had to be perfect,
The one I feed and
Know your wolf. Get your teeth stuck into all three! National events listings:
