The second AFIELD Study Program titled ‘The Construction of Ableism’ will be led by Chantal Wong and is set to take place online in 30 May – 9 June 2022. You can stream the event here on artreview.com.
Provoked by Dolores Hayden’s prompt ‘What would a non-sexist city look like?’, this inquiry explores a rhetoric beyond one of lack and insufficiency to trace a network of technologies and practices that create disability and reimagine new sites and communities.
What would a place be like, where each person showed up as able and a contributor to the space, where everyone was part of the creative process and upholding of the space, for each other?
What would a non-ableist site look like?
