Description
Artlink was established in 1984 to support and promote the involvement of disabled people in the arts. As part of their Reading In Between Lines project, I was invited to be a panelist for an Empathy Conversation. To explore how different perspectives can bring us together we were asked to respond to issues that were being unearthed as Covid-19 started to take its toll on our communities in March 2020. Each writer was asked to respond to a simple brief that in some way related to their lived experience, providing the opportunity to open up these issues, to better understand what we could and should have in common.
