10 Questions for Andy Jackson and Gaele Sobott

“As a conversation, the poem is inspired by the space between us, the overlap where our concerns resonate and are amplified. It's shaped most by the insidious nature and continual presence of eugenics in society, and by a desire to find a voice for our agency. We began by deciding to write a double helix, to indicate our collaboration and our genetics—it was a form that both constrained and liberated our phrases.”

Catwalk

What happens when women become more invisible as they grow older? How does it feel to see the environment around you ravaged, borders put up and your means of resistance closed down? And how do the lives of humans and other beings intersect in terms of everyday struggle? Catwalk, written by Gaele Sobott and Sharmilla Beezmohun, explores these themes through poetry animated by Daria Lytvynenko (Oks) and a soundscape created by Latif Rabhi.

Funded by The British Council as part of their UK/Australia Season 2021-22.

‘The Cat Got Her Tongue’ read by Kate Hood. ‘Barrens’ read by Sharmilla Beezmohun.
