To The Person Who Answers These Enquiries,
I would like to start this enquiry by demanding that this letter be read by a manager, supervisor, or the president/owner of this council. And would like an precise and informative response.
I am deeply offended. I have been notified that the Arts Council is funding £14,000 in the 'name of art' to a woman called Rita Marcola. Are you all mad? Honestly, this is the most dangerous, mindless act I can think of that a person with this disorder can do.
I have epilepsy and I find the allowance of something so dangerous to continue to be mind boggling. Does this woman fully understand the consequences her action will have? Not only on her life, but on the stigma that is placed on everyone with epilepsy by the outside community?
I hope that in the trail of this being forwarded from supervisor to supervisor, that at least one of you will have a loved one with a seizure disorder, and protest this abomination.
She is painting all those with epilepsy with the same brush, for some cheap and masochist vision that she considers art?! This is in no way art, let alone educational or scientific.
I wonder how stupid this council will feel if Ms Marcola went into Status (non stop seizuring) and DIED infront of her audience? How will her family feel knowing that you could have prevented that from happening by refusing her the resources to continue. Who is going to save your ass, when you can't save hers?
Think about that, before decide if "the show must go on"
sincerely
Rae
P.S. This has reached people in Canada and The U.S.A that are equally disappointed in an uneducated council.
