Disabled Writers Commissions | Deptford Lounge - Studio

Details

Join us at the Disabled Writers Commissions event, featuring talented writers Yaz Nin, AMPLE Collective, and Jameisha Prescod. Hosted by Joe Rizzo-Naudi and Ayesha Chougley, this event showcases new original commissioned work from these brilliant artists. Yaz Nin, a Kibris born London writer, presents a short film exploring the theme of precarious housing and the invisible chain of community and connection. Jameisha Prescod, a South London artist-filmmaker and writer, offers an audio reading of a creative non-fiction piece delving into the significance of water in Black diasporic communities. AMPLE Collective, an intergenerational neurodivergent collective co-founded by Sofia Lyall and Jacqueline Ennis Cole, presents "mutterings" - micro poems and stories that portray the journey of Au, who navigates Lewisham, confronting futuristic technologies and encountering more-than-human beings residing in the area. The work of these talented writers will be available to read, watch, and listen to on the Festival website. Don't miss out on this opportunity to engage with their thought-provoking pieces. The Disabled Writers Commissions event will take place at Deptford Lounge - Studio in London on March 16, 2024.
