Tentacles is a writers’ collective for disabled and chronically ill people.

Tentacles Collective are launching our new publication 'We Are A Gentle, Angry People', an anthology by d/Deaf, disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill writers!

📖

After two and a half years of courses and masterclasses, we are delighted to present our first publication 'We Are A Gentle, Angry People', a collection of work created by writers from the Tentacles community and beyond.

We'll be celebrating with an evening of readings from our contributors and welcoming Jhalak Prize nominated writer, Tara Singh, for a headline performance following their workshop on the 7th November.

We're so excited for this opportunity to come together and honour the voices featured in the anthology, which will be available to purchase in person at the event and to order online.

💻 This showcase will be HYBRID ; you can attend either in person or online. 💻

Pricing

We believe disabled-led art and community spaces should be as accessible as possible. Tickets for this event are offered on a donation basis, and no one will be turned away because of a lack of funds.

PA/carer tickets are FREE - please get in contact with us at tentacles00@outlook.com or let us know in the booking comments if you are attending in person with a PA/carer.

The venue is level access with an accessible, gender-neutral toilet and air ventilation system.

There will be online and in person BSL interpreters available. When booking your ticket, please indicate if you require BSL.

There will be auto-generated captions available online and printed versions of work being read out in person.

Anyone can step away as and when needed during the event

Tentacles is run by and for disabled people. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you and sharing an evening of creativity, connection and community. 💚
