Crucial Conversations - Disabled Artists: Collective Voices/Personal Labour

Vici Wreford-Sinnott

Little Cog's commitment to supportive Sp@ce for disabled artists to check in and talk about important matters affecting us

Welcome to Little Cog's latest Sp@ce conversations for disabled artists building on our previous Crucial Conversations series, the results of which we shared on our website and distributed to colleagues in mainstream arts. <a href="https://www.littlecog.co.uk/crucial-conversation-series.html" title="https://www.littlecog.co.uk/crucial-conversation-series.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Crucial Conversation Series - LITTLE COG</a> Disabled artists from all communities are encouraged to attend to ensure intersectionality is at the forefront of our campaigns.PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL DATE - NOW TAKING PLACE ON 15 APRIL 2.00-4.00PM BSTThis is a disabled artist only space - please DO NOT book if you are not a disabled artist. Thank you. Today's conversation recognises the power of collective voices but wants to explore the personal labour we put into this. For decades, much of sharing our voices was through direct activism or channelled through disabled people's development organisations. How do we get together and raise our voices when needed - there are so many examples in our history, in our today and in our tomorrows - but also have protection of time, energy and a shared load. Are there models we could develop in which we safeguard ourselves whilst still having an impact.Vici Wreford-Sinnott will be your host and guest speakers will bring their experience and provocations for discussion. We'll post more information soon. Access - please complete your access requirements when booking. Also let us know if there are subjects you'd like us to avoid in conversation. Please attend on the basis on which these discussions are offered - they are a check-in point for important conversations, they are a space for everyone to have a voice (although it's also fine to attend and just listen in if your access means taking part wouldn't work for you) and they are relatively fleeting so please protect each other by not delving too deeply into distressing experiences. We have solidarity with everyone but are not able to offer ongoing support in a two-hour discussion. We have a mutual responsibility for the care of everyone attending.Cancellation - we understand that circumstances change. If you are no longer able to attend please let us know to free up your place for another disabled artist. UK based disabled artists are our target attendees for these conversations due to our funding. NB NEW DATES there are three crucial conversations in this series. You can attend one or all sessions.Monday 8 April 6.00 - 7.30pm Foregrounding Our ProgressMonday 15th April 2.00 - 3.30pm Collective Voices/Personal LabourMonday 22nd April 2.00 – 3.30pm The current arts environment<a href="https://www.littlecog.co.uk/crucial-conversations.html" title="https://www.littlecog.co.uk/crucial-conversations.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Information here</a>You can find out more about us at<a href="https://www.littlecog.co.uk" title="https://www.littlecog.co.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> www.littlecog.co.uk</a>
