REFLECTIONS ON THE CLOUDSPOTTERS’ CAFÉ - THE BOOKCLUB EDITION
In this blog, Raquel reflects on the Booklcub she co-ran through BAC in 2021/22, gathering a group of 12 participants over a 3 month period to explore creativity in the context of chronic ill health and disability.

CRIP TECH AND BELONGING
Research around disabled artists’s practice and their experiences of disability, in the hope of understanding more nuanced ways to make art more accessible. How we go beyond standard access, to enable belonging in our public spaces.

THE BLOG THAT STARTED IT ALL: 'DREAMS OF RESTING SPACES AND A RESTING SPACES NETWORK'
This blog was published on Disability Arts Online in Sept 2017. It speaks to the experiences of many folk like me, who navigate the world differently due to invisible disability or chronic illness.

IT’S LIKE IT SAYS ON THE TIN!
This blog considers Edward Said’s Orientalism as a tool to reflect on textural representation, in the context of a dance theatre research & development project that took place in 2021 / 2022. The project leads were choreographer Raquel Meseguer Zafe, director Amy Hodge and playwright Jude Christian.

EXPANDING THE IDEA OF AN ACCESSIBLE EVENT
A colleague recently made me aware of Mast Cell Activation and other chemical sensitivities that absent people from public spaces and public events. As we move through the year of ‘Towards a Restful City’ in Bristol, I’d like to think about moving towards ‘scent free’ or ‘minimal scent events’. The resource shared here is from Alison Kafer’s Queer, Feminist, Crip.
