Tony Fisher, a photographer & writer for over 50 years, and emerging poet & musician Omari Marsalis speak to your hosts Laura Guthrie and Jay Sandhu. The chat covers how learning never stops, the barriers disabled people faced in the early 1980s, and how things have changed for younger disabled artists today. We ask about the difference working with other disabled artists makes to your work. We discuss embedding intersectional experiences in creative storytelling. We ponder what the future might hold for disabled artists. Oh, and what on earth is an ‘Access Rider’?
