Liverpool based arts organisation DaDa returns to the Museum of Liverpool next month to present its annual Edward Rushton Social Justice Lecture.

Award-winning theatre maker, activist and writer Kaite O’Reilly will deliver the lecture at the waterfront landmark on Tuesday, 3 December from 1-3pm. It will also be available to watch online.

The annual event, held on the United National International Day for People with Disabilities, is named after the blind Liverpool poet, bookseller, activist, abolitionist and disabled man.

Kaite O’Reilly will speak about ableism and audism in ‘RAGE ON: The Uses of Anger’ which connects her talk to DaDa’s 40th birthday celebrations in 2025 which have the core theme Rage.

She describes ableism and audism as the discrimination of and social prejudice against people based on the belief that other bodies, senses and neurology are superior, thereby giving the right to dominate, patronise and try to ‘fix’. The assumption that disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent people are lesser, require medicalisation and normalisation, or be made to disappear.
