Today's guest are Rae Young and Alexandrina Hemsley, in conversation with Toni-Dee. This is a beautifully contemplative chat about access to work, infantilisation, managing relationships, being a disabled artist, different ideas of failure and different ways of working. ‘God, it's the vulnerability. It's constantly having to make yourself vulnerable. And sometimes that vulnerability is received well, and when it is, that's really, really a beautiful thing’For our sixth episode we are talking with Ray Young and Alexandrina Hemsley. The guests explore the different experiences with being disabled artists, Access to Work, how this impacts venues, planning and creating work. Our guests share their experiences with failure and what failure looks like to them. ‘I personally think good artistic approach is to realise that each time you do it, you're going to do it differently. And being disabled teaches me that knowing that I show up every hour differently’. Our host is Toni-Dee Paul - @txnidee , https://www.instagram.com/txnidee/ and this week’s guests are: 1.
