Talking Space

CarersWA

 

An anthology of stories told by West Australians with disability for everyone

Talking Space’ is a candid insight into the lives of ten Western Australians with disability. Through these stories we investigate the identity of people from different walks of life, ages, experiences, and nationalities. Within ‘Talking Space’ we have collated stories that challenge commonly held beliefs around disability and discover new ways of self-identity within the storytellers’ words. When presenting these stories, we have allowed our storyteller’s to be open with controversial topics and create a platform where they can explore ideas that may go against the grain. At its heart though, Talking Space is a collection of stories about people who have overcome adversity, found their place in community and self-reflected upon what it is to be a person with disability.
