Intimate gatherings exploring the crossroads of
multi modal creativity, ableism, animism
& what we mean when we say WE....
multi modal creativity, ableism, animism
& what we mean when we say WE....
invites you to explore the question : What are we?
What are we? emerged out of conversations with a group of friends,
inspired by the following quote from Fiona Kumari Campbell (2013)
" A relational, counter‐ ableist version of impairment might explore what the experience of impairment produces and ask how does disability productively colour our lives?".
Through sharing our lived experience of disability & chronic illness & being curious as to how an animist lens might assist in blurring the pathological categorisation that occurs in the ableist society we inhabit - rich conversations emerged.
Can an animist perspective, a sense of there being other agents in play beyond the human, tapestried with an awareness of the ableist framework, shape shift - allow us to notice & articulate alternative ways of experiencing reality & understanding ourselves & our relationship with the diverse social & biological ecologies we are part of?
Together we play, commune, converse, rant, rave, write poetry & essays, take photographs, make videos, tell stories & compose & improvise music.
Our multi modal artifacts are offerings to the other than human hordes that collaborate with us.
Would you like to play?
Come and share space and time with us and the other-than-human hordes as we further explore the dis/human.
Explore the What are we? artifacts here - if they sing to you let us know!
