Fócloir Faoi Mhíchumas (A Dictionary of Disability) Workshop

Friday 27th February 2026 10:00AM - 1:00PM

Disabled artists Soso Ní Cheallaigh and Billí Mills invite you to play with Irish language disability terms through conversation, sound, movement, and rest.

This workshop asks what happens when disabled people take a lead in how language about them is created. You will move beyond medical language and reclaim self-description and experiment with words.

Is ceardlann ealaíon chruthaitheach é Fócloir Faoi Mhíchumas (Disability Dictionary) a dhéanann iniúchadh ar an nGaeilge agus ar mhíchumas. Do scríbhneoirí, do lucht déanta amharclannaíochta, d’fheachtasaithe agus do fhoghlaimeoirí Gaeilge, is deis spreagúil í seo gné den Ghaeilge a fhiosrú ar bhealach nuálach.

Tugann na healaíontóirí faoi mhíchumas Soso Ní Cheallaigh agus Billí Mills cuireadh duit spraoi a bhaint as téarmaí míchumais sa Ghaeilge trí chomhrá, fuaim, gluaiseacht agus scíth.

Cuireann an cheardlann seo an cheist: cad a tharlaíonn nuair a ghlacann daoine faoi mhíchumas an ceannaireacht ar an gcaoi a gcruthaítear an teanga fúthu? Rachaidh tú thar theanga leighis agus déanfaidh tú cur síos ort féin a athéileamh, agus bainfidh tú triail as focail nua.

Ní gá Gaeilge a bheith agat, agus ní gá aon taithí ghluaiseachta ná ealaíne chun páirt a ghlacadh. Tá fáilte roimh éisteacht, suí, nó freagairt ar bhealach neamhbhriathartha.
Is spás séimh, inrochtana é seo a chuireann rogha, scíth agus taithí bheo i gcroílár an phróisis.

Fócloir Faoi Mhíchumas (Disability Dictionary) is a creative arts workshop exploring the Irish language and Disability. For writers, theatre makers, activists and Irish language learners, this is an exciting opportunity to explore an aspect of  the Irish language in an innovative way.

Disabled artists Soso Ní Cheallaigh and Billí Mills invite you to play with Irish language disability terms through conversation, sound, movement, and rest.

This workshop asks what happens when disabled people take a lead in how language about them is created. You will move beyond medical language and reclaim self-description and experiment with words.

You do not need to speak Irish, and you do not need any movement or artistic experience to take part. Listening, sitting, or responding non-verbally are all welcome.

This is a gentle, accessible space that centres choice, rest, and lived experience.
