Jane Gauntlett is a writer, director, and access consultant. Her most recent work ‘Legacy’ is a series of experiences designed in collaboration with women in end of life care, exploring their loves, pleasures and legacy. In this talk, she will explore her process of making this work and how she approaches telling other people's stories.

This work comes alongside years of experience as a disabled creator and activist, including touring a piece about her own disability. In exploring her larger body of work, Jane discusses her experience dealing with burn-out and discrimination - and how her journey’s led her to build her new company, Tech, Paper, Scissors.

Join us online on YouTube Live, or in the building on Friday 4th September at 13:00 for the talk and to take part in the Q&A discussion afterwards.
