Dreams of Resting Spaces |
I have an invisible disability (chronic pain), and I need to rest (a lot).
I find it difficult to be out in the world unless I lie down and rest when I need to: on trains, in galleries, on benches. Sometimes I get kick back, and sometimes I get moved on.
I have created an installation for a lying down audience that questions the etiquette of our public spaces, and our cultural aversion to rest.
I dream of a network of spaces that welcome rest and horizontality, and am asking theatres and local arts centres to extend a warm welcome to those of us who need to rest throughout the day.
If you have chronic pain, an invisible disability, or are chronically ill, please tell us about what would make your local arts centre truly accessible to you in this short questionnaire.
Thank you!
