How do art and health meet in a time of crisis?
The Participatory Clinic is a performance and a diagnosis of a culture. Inspired by the political ephemera of LGBTQ+ and womenâs health activism from the 1980s recorded in GWLâs archives, the artist will host a cast of artists, performers and writers, in a contemporary reimagining of that material. Propagated from the satirical comic strips concerning health discrimination and based on the non-hierarchical structure of a 1980s feminist health centre, this immersive performance features performance lectures, readings, experimental sound, live art and dance. Ranging from texts exploring bodily experiences of art and art making and the physical barriers and absences from cultural space, to creative and comedic representations of gender, race and class based health inequalities.
