Do disabled artists have to be activists? Reflecting on 10 years of making disability media

Are disabled artists allowed to tell the stories we want? What's the relationship between art and activism? And can art actually end ableism?

When you stammer with someone At Stammering Pride, dysfluency creates connection

Very much enjoyed reading writer & filmmaker @celestinefraser.bsky.social’s insightful write up of the picnic & #stammeringpride march in Victoria Park, London this August - a thoughtful tribute to community & #stammeringgain: substack.com/home/post/p-... 🌊🌊🌊

Thank you so much for reading, and for the kind words! Really happy to hear that you enjoyed it. I learnt a lot from the stammering community 💙

Going off script Moving through shame to find pride in disabled and queer identity

A piece gorgeously illustrated by @sonaksha.bsky.social, who reinterprets Matisse and does so complete with Chappell Roan and Charli XCX lyrics.

Thanks to Sonaksha and Celestine for helping us find these new scripts.

Going off script Moving through shame to find pride in disabled and queer identity

In this week's Debrief, @celestinefraser.bsky.social looks at the many (often unexamined) intersections between disabled and LGBT communities.

She does it with a beautiful evocation of her own story moving through shame, and onto the queer dance-floor.
