Power Not Pity Podcast
We are excited to launch the ‘Power Not Pity Podcast’ as part of DaDaFest International 40, opening conversations about disability, arts and culture. You will hear from artists, cultural organisations and disabled activists who will be voicing rage, building the quiet riot our festival theme alludes to. The podcasts will bring some of our more visual exhibitions to life for those who can’t experience them in person or visually, alongside interesting conversations that will offer background around the events and venues where they will be housed, exploring disability arts, how far it has come, and what there is yet to do to create true equity in the cultural landscape.
