      <image:title>We Build Other Worlds - ECHO: collage</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this collage, I wanted to create a scenario of peace, disconnecting and reconnecting with the self and society. By using materials from community building events, I have been part of organising, the base of this [art] piece shares aspects of collective care within the pieces of those events. The collage also features tree bark, daffodil flowers, water colouring, star stickers, and other types of paper. The tree bark and daffodil flowers explore natural remarks whilst the star stickers, even though made of plastic, represent the expansiveness of the universe and how we can mould the world we live in. The water colour comes in to tie the different pieces of collage together, just as our community supports each other. In the future, I hope we’re able to recognise how we feel, and nurture ourselves in nature and community.  — Echo</image:caption>

      <image:title>We Build Other Worlds - HAZEL: Watercolour</image:title>
      <image:caption>In that first session was, I made a compound [out of pencils], and that compound was about safety and security for people to be able to bring them into a safe space where they could have respite, and, as I said, even though it was a simple little thing made out of stationery items for me, I could envisage it. I could see it in my mind's eye, and one of the things that would always be around me would be trees, and from that I took I took birds. And so this one I started photographing birds. But I thought I'll use some materials that you sent me to create this firebird, which is an imaginary creature. It doesn't have any place, but it's something to do with expansiveness and infinity... I didn't want to look at the fantastic. And when I'm bird watching, I'm not looking for a new species, every time I pick up my glasses. I'm trying to look at the detail of small creatures, and so the next thing that I sent you I've been taking photographs of...  some of these things are quite beautiful. And see the starling in the right-hand corner there, which is just incredibly beautiful, very common bird. You'll usually see this quite noisy and messy, but beautiful in itself. and in the centre, behind the fibre there is a robin, and I'd never seen that sort of shape of its feathers. So, the more that you look at things, the more detail you get, the more sense of what the life cycle is of a particular creature. — Hazel</image:caption>

      <image:title>We Build Other Worlds - SHAMS: Digital Trans space of tomorrow</image:title>
      <image:caption>I think it's really important that we have... and build those spaces [that provide] even just advice around housing, adaptations, benefits, employment, disability, immigration, and... that there is an intrinsic connection to your queerness... because already we have such, for lack of  better wording, shitty time as it is, and the services that are available to us don't really offer as much specialised information or a decent quality of care for us. So, it's also just a space for us to be actively involved with the services that we use.  And we can improve the status of care for us whether or not they necessarily want to do it. It's just we are the people using the services, we will be heard whether they like it or not... It's just a longstanding project that I think does really strongly tie into the concept of our future and our place in our future. Because we are the people that are being subjected to a lot of things. We're receiving a lot of things. We also do have a lot of power that we can and should be able to take up.  And this is one example how we can do that. — Shams</image:caption>

      <image:title>We Build Other Worlds - AMDIS: Collage</image:title>
      <image:caption>This collage is a visual manifesto of the disabled, queer and racially diverse experience, one of resilience, struggle and the urgent needfor change. Time, a central theme weighs heavy in this piece, the golden clock symbolizes how disability consumes time through recovery from sensory overload, endless hospital visits and the slow bureaucracy of medical systems. It reflects a reality for many:time is stolen by inaccessibility, by waiting for a diagnosis that never comes, or by fighting to be believed. The work also confronts the infantilization of disabled and queer people, how our autonomy is questioned or voices dismissed, and the knowledge of our own bodies ignored. It highlights the racial inequities in medical diagnosis, where race and ethnicity can determine whether one is properly diagnosed, misdiagnosed or left undiagnosed entirely. These layers of injustice demand recognition, resistance and reform. Amidst this crisis, the collage is also a celebration of all bodies, every identity, every way of existing. It urges us to reframe how we view disability and queerness, not as something to fix, but as something to honour. It is a call to action, to uplift disabled voices and queeridentities, to demand thanks, better representation and to build a world that sees the beauty in every form of existence. This piece asks, How do we reclaim time? How do we demand access, autonomy and justice. And, how do we reshape the world to recognize the beauty in every disabled, queer and racialized body? — Amdis</image:caption>

      <image:title>We Build Other Worlds - ÖZGÜR: Crayon drawing</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I went to London, I was invited to a couple of community iftar things, and there [were] also people like breaking fast in the park. So beautiful!  ...Those moments just remind me how much coming together and eating is a really beautiful thing. So many moments, where I haven't been able to feed myself or cook for myself because of depression, or because of ADHD, or because of all sorts of reasons, and people have cooked for me, and that's been really meaningful. And then I like cooking for other people...I'm often better able to do stuff when it's for other people than for myself. I think that's interesting. ...I have these pencils I've been wanting to use for ages, because they like show up on dark paper like this and I feel like, when you're trans, and when you're queer, and when you're disabled, and you're like growing up as a young person you are often just  in the dark, and ...there's not much to guide you,  don't get shit. And then so it feels powerful to be able to come to food, representing community. — Özgür</image:caption>

So just to represent.. my experience [of] being neurodiverse...but different types, like Tourette's, autism, as well as just having other neurological issues like epilepsy.

      <image:caption>I'm doing a visual poem. It's not stuck together yet because I keep changing it around, so I can't really lift it to show but I guess I can read it aloud. I guess it's about navigating your own internal world, I suppose, when you're disabled... What if I wasn't trying to figure it all out. Why we are here as individuals. How long has consciousness existed? Imagine losing your shit over years, mistakes, sin, disposable, internal battle, lower sense of belonging. I don't think there's anything up there. It's a beautiful place. At times you need a friend making a connection, a survival tactic. It might be too late. I couldn't afford to be the identity I wanted to be. I kind of don't want to stick it around, because I like that, I can move it maybe, I don't know, I might find a way to, like, hang it without actually sticking it on. — Mar</image:caption>

      <image:title>We Build Other Worlds - ESHAAL: Drawing</image:title>
      <image:caption>shout out the weed brownies that are blooming into an olive tree. and then the olives from the olive tree are going into my medication pack with oestrogen sachets there, and then there's shadow hands holding up this figure, which I feel represents me in a way. There'seven one pushing a microphone to her lips. And then I decided to fill her in with a representation of turmoil specifically in the mind and then push that out. And then I really like the bed. So fun. Fact, I did this pattern, which is what a Maslaha is, so paramount in Islamic culture. Because, as a Muslim, I can't really pray a lot because of my fibromyalgia, and the act of actually praying hurts. So I do a lot of my praying in bed. So, this is like my Maslaha. This is my prayer space....I've got like some abstract stairs, going up, but each one has a task that I've had to do. Call the doctor. Have a meeting. But then, as it gets more abstract, it's more like sleep, nap. And then that kind of all kind of turns into my walking stick and my tote bag, and there are a bunch of spoons like flying out of my tote bag because of how much is going into the thing.   And then this is a pattern... that's similar to the keffiyeh. So, the vines of a keffiyeh, but it's also the mehndi pattern that we do for Eid. And one thing about the mehndi patterns is you actually don't see it properly until 3 days later, similar to my pain [can come] 3 days later after a task. But also sometimes my reward, the rewards of hanging out with me come days afterwards, or after you put in the work.  There's also dotted throughout our words in Urdu that relate to my experience. So, this word here is aazadi, which means freedom, and I put it in the corner here, because being able to go past all of these things, and just sit and pray in like the bed, is kind of a representation of my freedom, even though most people view it as like a cage in a way.  On the corner here I've written kiyon which is the word for why. And that's in relation to the medication.    And the way that I wanted to [do this] is that in the beginning part, or in certain parts, where my...pen first touched down. It's very likecoherent. It's very all together, and you can kind of tell it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And then it slowly became less and less put together, because consistency isn't necessarily something that I get to do as a disabled person, and instead of the numbers they start turning to infinity signs and stop signs and sad faces and happy faces, because things just kind of start to become a bit more incoherent.   With everything that's happened this past week wants to... make it into a performance art piece, where, like, it slowly burns gets burnt throughout time, because, as disabled people, the world isn't necessarily entitled to our opinion, and we're always being told that we're late or we're running behind, so making it so that the viewer themselves is like running behind, and might not be able to see this... But another part of me does love it so much that I don't want it to burn it.... — Eshaal</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Each square was meant to be a different kind of pattern to show each part of the time - it's trying to go down, but it's not going down. But then I realized that would take me two to three days. So, because I don't have the attention span, this is an ADHD kind of hourglass, and it's the energy at the end [that] is spilling out, because I don't have enough time to  use all my energy, so it kind of spills over. I learned [to crochet] last year in October, and this is my third tapestry work and I’ve finally perfected the scale.</image:caption>

The second point is red hibiscus germinates from the incurable damp in my bedroom. GABA vented metal fender. Date justice for tenants, I still can't remember who I am, then your deadlines hold no power over me, though I always try to get the train before the early train for work, my body-mind doesn't make me an untouchable. This isn't a consequence and consequence of past debt rebound with me because we already abolished currency. Then my rheumatologist asks me to design a new pain scale. So, I replaced the numbers with a piano, the piano scale that's coming from my spine. And then I fight the DWP advisor who asked me why I wasn't dead yet, an insignificant triumph in the first tier of our tribunal that I feel like wearing Mariana. — Sami</image:caption>
