For DaDaFest 2020 Alexandrina Hemsley compiled a publication drawing together elements of her disability and social justice-led inquiries of the past six years.
The collection of texts and images stem from the prompt, ‘How does one (individuals and communities) return to intimacy after experiences, or within the aftermaths of violence (systemic, institutional, personal, intergenerational)?’
Alongside Alexandrina, the publication brings together several pieces from the following artists, activists, facilitators, researchers and practitioners:
Lateisha Davine Lovelace-Hanson
Nad Ma
Nina Mühlemann
Noa Winter
Omikemi
Oshilaja Hemsley
Raju Rage
Rebekah Ubuntu
Vijay Patel
Themes of creativity, connection, love, rage, access, decolonisation, repair and future speculations emerge through these collective voices.
‘Words Collect in My Mouth; Conversations on Intimacy and Repair’ was created in 2020 for DaDaFest International Festival: Translations. The release of this publication was postponed. We are pleased to publish this publication both in digtal and print for this years DaDafest Scratch 21.

What is DaDaFest Scratch?
Scratch is an exciting opportunity, a creative space for disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent artists to showcase the early ideas of a piece of work. It is a place for them to discover, to discuss, to develop and to explore potential next steps.
Work developed for Scratch may go on to form part of our DaDaFest International Festival next year.
