- challenge category: health
- selected tactic: tiny invisible performance
- difficulty rating: tricky
- current status: completed
the doing: invisible accessibility
pvi rebels took mobility devices embedded with audio to some of the least accessible public places in port adelaide to use invisible performance to exaggerate the invisibility of these experiences to the wider public. the voiced mobility devices were generated by people with disabilities in answer to the prompt: what would your mobility device say if it could talk?
pvi collective and the tiny revolutions team would like to thank the participants from karrarendi – the first nations disability arts and craft group from kura yerlo. thank you for sharing your voices and your experiences.
the submission:
what overwhelms you?
“there are so many disabled and chronically ill people who are so profoundly abandoned by our systems, leaders, and each other. The scale of how inaccessible public and private spaces are. How expensive it is to be sick. How traumatising survival is. How can we get the help we need?”
jamila, 12.4.20.
