Last night I skyped with several artists involved in Liverpool's DadaFest and had a fascinating conversation about diversity, creativity, change and the arts.

This video begins at the end of my introduction where I talked about how I came to establish the International Guild of Disabled Artists & Performers (IGODAP).

As often happens with conversations, especially ones between creative types, we got totally sidetracked from our proposed agenda, which was:

1. What is the spread between the social and personal impact/experience of disability and how do we express these in our work?

2. As disabled artists, how do we support each other to continue to draw inspiration for our work? How could we more dynamically and more often celebrate the highs and commiserate the lows as a global community?

3. What has changed and still needs to change to make the work and role of artists who experience disability more significant in the cultural landscape?

4. How could IGODAP, given its limited resource but virtual form, assist disabled artists to achieve their artistic goals?

Instead we started an in-depth conversation about the meaning and language behind disability; the "social brand" of disability; the benefits and limitations of the social model and its impact in perpetuating a reality of discrimination, inaccessibility and social barriers; where to next; how can artists creatively lead the way; and how can we mobilise technology to do this globally?
