[[File:Bedfest2.jpg|center|500px|thumb]] <nowiki>#BedFest</nowiki> is a virtual festival organized by [[The MEAction Network]] to highlight the experience of living with (severe) [[Myalgic Encephalomyelitis]] (ME) and [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]] (CFS) through creative contributions.<ref name ="bedfest">https://www.bedfest.meaction.net/</ref > People with ME were invited to depict aspects of their lives through song, poetry, spoken word, painting and photography. The festival premiered on Saturday, May 6th 2017, building up towards [[International ME Awareness Day]], May 12, 2017. BedFest has now become a yearly event.<ref name ="bedfest" /> '''#Bedfest''' was inspired by a meeting with musician and ME sufferer [[Kaeley Pruitt-Hamm]], who had recorded her album ''Hi From Pillows'' from bed (debuted in May 2017), and by Bedstock, a virtual concert where musicians performed from bed to honor sick children who are stuck in theirs.<ref name="HiFromPillows">https://kphmusic.bandcamp.com/album/hi-from-pillows-ep</ref > As part of '''#Bedfest''', Kaeley re-released her music video ''Believe Her''.<ref name="BelieveHer">https://kphmusic.bandcamp.com/track/believe-her-single</ref> This powerful version shows the faces of people from three continents who want to raise awareness about the [[Stigma and discrimination |doubts and disregard]] they face regarding their illness. ==#BelieveME project== The #BelieveME project hopes to address misconceptions about the disease (i.e. the [[Psychologization |focus on psychological]] and [[Ethical issues |denial of physical causes]]) by encouraging people with M.E. to photograph themselves in their daily reality and spread those images worldwide. As part of the 2017 festival, MEAction hosted a community call where participants discussed their work and what it meant to be creative while living with ME.{{citation needed}} ==See also == *[[Kaeley Pruitt-Hamm]] *[[Severe and very severe ME]] *[[MEAction]] *[[International ME Awareness Day]] *[[Psychologization]] *[[Ethical issues]] *[[Stigma and discrimination]] *[[Myalgic encephalomyelitis]] ==Learn more == *[https://www.bedfest.meaction.net BedFest] *[https://kphmusic.bandcamp.com Kaeley Pruitt-Hamm] *[https://www.bedfest.meaction.net/believe-me-project #BelieveME project] *[http://bedstock.com Bedstock] *[https://kphmusic.bandcamp.com/album/hi-from-pillows-ep Hi From Pillows album] *[https://kphmusic.bandcamp.com/track/believe-her-single ''Believe Her''] ==References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Advocacy and fundraising initiatives]]
