1 DECEMBER 2021.
•
Last call, with joy and interdependence. 1 days, 5 hours, and counting to go before applications close for the inaugural Disability Radical Imagination Impact Fund (DRIIF) via my business @ThisAbilityLtd.
•
This fund is designed explicitly for Disabled creatives, especially those who are:
– BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour)
– minoritised and/or
– at the intersection of multiple systems of oppression.
•
When I say Indigenous, we don’t mean the definition of Indigenous that white supremacy adopts for its propaganda and what we sometimes see as violent and hateful action.
•
The fund will deliver ten (10) grants of up to £1,500 to further Disabled creatives’ creative practice for their radical imaginative project.
•
When we say Disabled creatives, we mean Disabled artists, musicians, screenwriters, authors, writers, filmmakers, actors, comedians, models, designers, commissioning agents, advertisers, psychologists, healers, doctors, teachers, architects, engineers, scientists, activists, entrepreneurs, and creators, et cetera.
•
The DEADLINE to apply for applications is 5 pm GMT on 3 December 2021. The WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED on 5 July 2022, my birthday.
•
Application via the link here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJgvUsz9CwfgTx7Z4OKs7r8UgP4qRYd3c2bu0_SNqyWcKY8Q/viewform. We wish you the very best in your application.
