what are we?
What does the experience of disability - impairment - aberrance - chronic illness offer you, us & the world in this ecological moment?
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?
Having a digital space to share asynchronously across the world allowed for imaginative threads to diffract, coalesce & weave themselves in our lovingly tended digital space.
THANK YOU to our dear friends who have inhabited the eye of the whale & thus are co-minglers of this work.
