It’s been a fabulous few months visiting galleries internationally that are working with disabled and non-normative artists to explore how we might occupy the world differently. At the Tensta konsthall in Stockholm Chronos: health access and intimacy, co-curated by Olivia Plender and Cecilia Widenheim which runs until the beginning of September 2024.
It asks ‘Whose body standards have shaped the society in which we live? And what can we learn from the disability rights struggles that demand access to the city and the built environment?' The exhibition takes its point of departure in the architectural practice of Matrix Feminist Design Co-operative in 1980s and 90s London—of which I was a co-founder— to ask questions about bodies, minds, health and space. I was there to give a talk about The DisOrdinary Architecture Project, and to see the work, so many overlaps with my own concerms.
