Videos needed by mid November at the latest please for our Disability Pride event for International Day of Disabled People.
The theme
From Relaxation to Resistance – a Celebration of our Lives in Lockdown – to show just how remarkable we are as disabled people and how proud we are about our lives and achievements.
It is possible that your main achievement is just surviving, we know that alone can be very hard work in itself so if you want to send us something about that please do. However don’t tell us about the problems but rather how you solved them if you can.
Tell us about things you’ve made, what you cooked, how you have supported others, where you have been, what plants you have grown, or any artistic achievements you’ve produced in any medium.
You may be a well known or little known cartoonist who has captured the absurdity and callousness of government lack of action to protect disabled people, or you may be involved in a project to interview activists and archive our history. You may be a journalist who has been investigating what has been happening and creating a lasting record.
You may have taken legal or other action to advance disabled people’s rights during the pandemic or be in the process of doing so.
Whatever you’ve been doing we want to hear from you.
We’d like you to send us short videos of 2-4 minutes showing what you’ve been doing over the last 6-7 months. If you have produced a poem, song or similar that lasts a bit longer then please send that too.
Send you videos to us at mail@dpac.uk.net
