Thank for the interview… one thing I’m always going to say… value creatives wherever they are based. Just because you afford to be in London, love networking, doesn’t mean you’re making the best work. 😘

Sometimes talking about Disability and Art and Climate Crisis can seem a bit amorphous, too fluid, not concrete enough. Like a cloud. Today I got to talk about Climate Crisis and Art in the context of a disabled artist curator and theatre maker with Europe Beyond Access

It’s been 63 years since suicide was decriminalised in the UK. But so many of us still use the term ‘commit suicide’. Why does it matter? Language that links suicide and crime can increase stigma and prevent people struggling with suicidal thoughts from speaking out. If we choose language like ‘died by suicide’ or ‘took their own life’ we allow space for open conversations and compassion. Let’s choose our words carefully. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
