17. Disability and...Dyslexia with Benedict Phillips

Disability Arts Online and Mind the Gap present The Disability and...Podcast

To celebrate dyslexia awareness week, Colin Hambrook, editor of Disability Arts Online chats with Benedict Phillips artist and activist about his work, The Agender of the Agresiv Dislecksick, which has just had its 25th anniversary. Benedict will be giving a performance of the work, followed by a Q&A with Colin and artist and academic Aby Watson on Wednesday 7 October at 3pm.

Colin published Benedict's seminal manifesto as Editor of Disability Arts in London Magazine, back in September 1995. The work marked the beginnings of Benedict's long career as an artist and also his first engagement with the Disability Arts community. The pair have remained in touch ever since and here they discuss a raft of Benedict's major artworks which he has produced over the years.
