Lisa Slominski in conversation with Jo Longhurst
ONLINE August 30 2023, 6.30–7.30 pm BST
Writer and curator Lisa Slominski leads an in-conversation with artist Jo Longhurst about her ongoing body of work Crip.
Following a screening of Here, Now (2023) the pair will discuss Longhurst’s research, the act of working collectively and her work’s relationship to the theory of ‘crip time’. The theory, which lies at the intersection of feminist, disability, and queer studies, elaborates how the disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill encounter time and space differently from able-bodied or minded persons.
Here, Now is a new moving image work developed alongside the formation of unseen collective, a group of eight women and non-binary identifying artists living with unseen disabilities and conditions.
The experiences shared through one-to-one discussions, online presentations and group meetings informed and activated Longhurst’s research. The collective members are a central feature of the film.
The event will take place online, via zoom. The in-conversation will be pre-recorded, and provided with subtitling.
Attendees will be emailed a link to participate prior to the event.
