D4D: Electric Bodies - 'Ways of Understanding' poetry and interview content

D4D (Disability and Community: Dis/engagement, Dis/enfranchisement, Dis/parity and Dissent) was a four year AHRC Connected Communities project investigating issues around disability and community.Electric Bodies was one of the eight project strands. It explored the relationship between the disabled artist and the disability arts community through a series of extensive life history interviews edited into transcription poetry cycles.'Ways of Understanding' is a cycle of transcription poems written by Allan Sutherland. They are based on interviews conducted by Sutherland with the artist, poet and journalist Colin Hambrook. The poems cover Hambrook's childhood, his mother's schizophrenia and eventual sectioning, the damage done to his family by Jehovah's Witnesses, and his own psychosis and depression. Hambrook describes his development of an artistic practice that drew upon his personal experiences of mental health issues, particularly aided by his education as a student at Dartington College. He mentions his involvement with Survivors Poetry and his work on their first anthology 'Under the Asylum Tree'. Hambrook discusses his role as editor of Disability Arts in London magazine and as founding editor of the website Disability Arts Online. He talks about his two self-illustrated books of poetry, '100 Houses' and 'Knitting Time'.Colin Hambrook was a Community Co-Investigator on the D4D project.This item contains the following files:The poems (PDF)Recording of Allan Sutherland reading the poems (MP3)Transcript of the interviews (PDF)Audio of the interviews (5 x MP3)This content has been uploaded with the permission of the creators.

D4D（残障与社区：参与/不参与，赋权/剥夺，不平等与异议）是一项为期四年的AHRC联合社区项目，旨在探究围绕残障与社区的问题。‘电子身体’是该项目的八个研究分支之一。它通过一系列详尽的生命史访谈，编辑成转录诗歌循环，探讨了残障艺术家与残障艺术社区之间的关系。《理解之道》是艾伦·萨瑟兰创作的诗歌循环。这些诗歌基于萨瑟兰对艺术家、诗人兼记者科林·汉布罗克的访谈。诗歌涵盖了汉布罗克的童年、其母的精神分裂症及其最终被隔离的情况、耶和华见证人对家庭造成的损害，以及他本人的精神错乱和抑郁症。汉布罗克描述了他如何发展出一种艺术实践，这种实践借鉴了他个人经历的心理健康问题，特别是得益于他在达丁顿学院的学生教育。他提到了他与幸存者诗歌的参与，以及他们在《庇护树下的避难所》的第一部诗歌汇编中的工作。汉布罗克讨论了他作为《伦敦残障艺术》杂志的编辑以及《残障艺术在线》网站的创始人兼编辑的角色。他还谈论了他的两本自绘诗集《一百座房子》和《编织时光》。科林·汉布罗克是D4D项目的社区共同研究员。本项包含以下文件：诗歌（PDF）、艾伦·萨瑟兰朗诵诗歌的录音（MP3）、访谈的转录（PDF）、访谈的音频（5 x MP3）。此内容已获得创作者的许可。此内容受版权保护，未经许可不得使用。使用此存储库即表示同意遵守其政策和相关版权法。
