Hi! Join our LIVESTREAM tonight by 7.30pm UK, £3/$4, anywhere w internet. Can't watch tonight? Buy link access & I'll send recording very soon! This event is SO special. BSL interpreted, all poems on screen, in delightful, accessible venue. Proudly part of #YDW25 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/poetry-for...
"A Census of Disability Joy" is inspired by our archive and explores how disability was represented in the census and other records from the 1800s.
Created by a York collective of disability artists, it reclaims and reworks these representations to assert a vision of ‘disability joy’ today.

Image shows inside of large former church, now the National Centre for Early Music performance space. Large pillars hold of the ceiling; to the right of centre is a massive arched window. Audience is seated to the left, and to the right, at stage front, are: a BSL terp, almost hidden to the side of a female poet wearing a pink hat and looking at paper. Behind them on the wall, to the far right of the image, is a lit-up large screen with words on it. Overlaid are three text boxes: "Join us and feel included!" and "Headliners Dominic Berry & Pete Kalu!" and "NCEM is a steps-free venue, excellent acoustics, BSL terps, poems on screen". Below text about headliners are two photos: a balding young white appearing male, one eyebrow cocked, pointing a finger at camera (Dominic), and a medium-brown middle aged man with a sweet half-smile, glasses, and a white pullover, peering out from between two orange curtains (Pete). Poetry for all is a disabled-led, disabled-focused annual event held in York, UK.
We're back! NCEM, 7pm for 7.30pm start. NEW! #Tarot card readings by Gillian Avart, via her VI-friendly cards. Gillian will offer readings throughout the evening. Livestream link £3
