Episode 4: Power Not Pity at Pimp My Wheelchair
Power Not Pity visits ‘Pimp My Wheelchair’ at Sefton Park Palmhouse In this episode, Tom Walker talks to artists Faith Bebbington and Janet Price who presented their commissioned art ‘Pimp My Wheelchair’ as part of DaDaFest International 40. Janet explains to Tom “Pimp My Wheelchair was about brightening up prosthetics rather than them being dull and boring and as though they're things we should be apologetic about.” And Faith shares the “initial idea came from people who kicked my stick from underneath me and I wanted to make my stick more blingy and more noticeable and more dangerous so that people notice it rather than ignoring it.” The event was the start of a display of Faith and Janet’s sculptures being hosted by Palmhouse for the festival month, as well as online. Tom speaks to Shaun Fallows and Grindl Dockery who took part in the Pimp my Wheelchair procession during the launch who share their views on the need for more disabled people being involved in conversations about issues that affect disabled people. Tom asks are we doing enough or is a bit of ‘civil disobedience’ required to drive change. Finally, Naomi McAllister Marketing and Community Manager at Sefton Park Palmhouse shares how having events like DaDaFest there helps the team continue to learn and grow the accessibility at the venue.
