The Spill Festival and Pacitti Think Tank were at one time places I respected however after this incident of being age shamed and body shamed by two people who worked there (and still do) I refused to return there. While on a return to work program I was told had to apply to a position there. I knew full well that under no circumstances would I ever be anywhere near accepted so I sent the application in. And to my relief my application was rejected. Because at one event Robert, his associates including James Gory were laughing and gossiping about two artists who I had known longer than them, Chloe and Amy Sage they said out loud with a great guffaw “those two are so effing weird what the eff is wrong with them?” Both women have had a lot of health challenges and when Robert saw I had overheard them he ended their conversation. When I posted this Robert threatened legal action against me because I had somehow upset Jodie Wharton she kept saying she had no recollection of this. I felt such body shame that instead of walking home through town I called for a taxi with what little money I had. And at one point I was meeting other former students of university of Suffolk and shortly after we had all bought our drinks and began talking Jason Hayes (the other staff member who body shamed and age shamed me£ sat down beside me, by then I had long since forgiven them both, I looked to him and he looked to me and I said “Hi Jason how are you?” He looked at me then without saying anything he looked away and refused to say anything to me or acknowledge me. So I decided to leave. I don’t tolerate bullies. And then after that day many people who were there said “why did you ignore Jason?” I always maintain I never did, I also maintain that he was very clearly in the wrong and couldn’t look me in the eye. Yet as a woman we all know it’s often blamed on “the woman” particularly a woman who had a mental label stuck on her that is often used as the scapegoat.
Disability and Bullying
I have a ticket to go to the PTT but I don’t feel comfortable going to the event due to J and J and the bullying they did to earlier this year 2016. I’m feeling a bit unhappy and sad as I’d been looking forward to the Illness and Disability In Radical Performance as I saved my last £5.00 to go, that’s how much I value art and artists. Unless I had someone to go with me I really, ironically, do not feel that I can access that space at PC as a person with a disability. I’m crying right now as I write this, because I feel that I want to go, I just don’t feel it’s a safe space for me to go alone to. I avoided the TTL earlier this year because I had to meet J with my books. I’d rather not go ever again right now that’s how I feel. All sorts of upsetting things happen but there are times when it has to be let go and not blame myself for being ridiculed by the way I dress due to my disability and body dysmorphia. Thanks but no more Thanks. I had enough of being bullied right from being a child it happens again and again and I have no clue why or how it happens….is it me? Is it something I invite? Why does it happen when I am on my own? I don’t bully people, do they do it on purpose to make me feel worse than I already do? I just want these questions to be gone.
*** this post has been edited due to “concerns” that have been raised by email and by in person, by a friend… this is my true account, with names edited out due to pressures that I respect that other people have had a different experience of these events to me.

art and ethical cause about highlighting the Celebration of Home
Proposal:
Basically it came from speaking with people classed themselves as homeless, firstly a friend who became without a fixed abode some years before I knew him and he introduced me to his friend who had been with no fixed abode and street sleeper we both related to each other about a mental health issue, he told me he had been offered help yet turned it away. He had been very incoherent in his mental state and he told me that people would go to the toilet on him and kick him so he lost teeth due to drunk people kicking his teeth out. He has no clue who his family are, he has no identity and was ‘lost in society’ it broke my heart. I met a man called Peter one winter night sitting by Sainsbury’s bins he had been down on his luck after taking retirement from the forces, he became bankrupt and with nowhere to live he was abandoned by his family.... and in relation to my former housemate she was very ill and was very unsociable and made life very very difficult for me and it seemed no matter how I helped her, I was not welcome in the home launching a massive hate campaign against me.... sadly she is now living in a van after abandoning a career in teaching, so no fixed abode too.
How the insecurity of having a place to live, affected me personally before sharing a home with that friend; was when I was threatened with eviction from the marital home my husband who decided he did not want me there and I had to find somewhere to live ASAP, thankfully I had support from senior council housing officers after complaining about being told by an employee from Ipswich Borough Council to live in someone’s outdoor shed!!!! Then one day I managed to brave it to the shop to buy food to restock and to buy a sandwich to eat on the waterfront on a lovely evening I was enjoying my food before returning home the sun was setting I was wearing my designer jacket and was feeling good in that moment of fresh air and people. A group of people all dressed for a night out walked by, a man in the group smiled at me and his friend said “Don’t look at her or she will ask you for money”....... “how bizarre” I thought but that is the state of times, so many people are vilified or verbally insulted regularly or pitied, this experience demonstrated that anyone could experience that and the first thing we need to do is change attitudes. BIG TIME POSITIVELY.
My theory is to Celebrate Home, in the best way to appreciate home and everything we have that is often taken for granted and highlight that EVERYONE DESERVES TO LIVE IN A NICE GOOD PLACE TO CALL HOME!
Hope you get the vibe I am hoping for and encouraging. And I’d be very consciously promoting local charities helping those people with no fixed abode.
Let me know what you think,
Best of wishes,
Angela
