A disability and deaf arts organisation will showcase a range of exhibitions at Liverpool venues this month.
The artists will explore the concepts of death and disability, and finally the legacies that we leave. For the first time the festival will commemorate the end of the First World War, when disability was recognised as a social construct.
The performances, exhibitions and talks will be hosted in St George’s Hall, Royal Court Liverpool, Tate Exchange, and will even stretch to Storyhouse in Chester.
This year’s line-up includes comedian Francesca Martinez, theatre-maker Jess Thom, artist Faith Bebbington, Stop Gap Dance Company and multi-instrumentalist, Sarah Fisher.
Poetry performer, Ruthie Adamson (stage name Wonky), told JMU Journalism: “What I ultimately got from attending previous DaDaFests was that it inspired me to become a spoken word artist.
Some of the most unusual exhibits this year are the eco-friendly coffins designed by art group, ‘Who We Are Now’. The coffins can be seen at the Oratory of Liverpool Cathedral until November 18th.
