Event overview
By Amanda Cachia
This presentation will explore the dynamics of curating exhibitions that focus on disability as its central theme. This will be illustrated by looking at a number of recent and upcoming projects organized by curator and scholar Amanda Cachia. These projects include What Can a Body Do? (2012), Cripping Cyberspace: A Contemporary Virtual Art Exhibition (2013), Composing Dwarfism: Reframing Short Stature in Contemporary Photography (2014), Performing Crip Time: Bodies in Deliberate Motion (2014), LOUD silence (2014-2015), Marking Blind (2015) and Art of the Lived Experiment (2015). Through each of these exhibitions, Cachia will demonstrate how she established access as a creative methodology, and maintained sustained engagement with the ethics and practicalities of curating disability-related subject matter. Cachia argues that part of the decolonizing work of disability studies is for curators to start practicing these curatorial strategies in order to “crip” art history and the mainstream contemporary art world.
