How have disabled artists across Europe experienced the pandemic?
We delve into responses in our latest film production, featuring project artists and collaborators from Poland (British Council in Poland), Italy (Oriente Occidente), Greece (Onassis Stegi) and Germany (Kampnagel).
The film includes images recorded as part of our international artistic laboratories held in Hamburg (Germany), Malmö (Sweden), Maastricht (the Netherlands) and Rovereto (Italy).
Don’t miss out on the artists’ reflections on how the pandemic has increased violence against disabled people, as well as their feelings of isolation, vulnerability and insecurity. The absence of motivation, incentives and contact with others to feed the creative process are other key issues the featured artists highlight.
Looking on the brighter side of the pandemic, a reduction in stress and the use of the context to turn the challenge into an opportunity to be more self-aware and make society more aware of the bodies of others are also explored in the film.
This film is part of a series sharing insights from disabled artists who are taking part Europe Beyond Access.
The programme is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission and the core partners are British Council (operating for this project in the UK and Poland), Kampnagel (Germany), Οnassis STEGI (Greece), Holland Dance Festival (The Netherlands), Per.Art (Serbia), Skånes Dansteater (Sweden), Festival Oriente Occidente (Italy).
