Developed during the Atelier AM residency (July-September 2022) in Almere Haven, Nefes Care is a multimedia installation made in collaboration with Mira Thompson, Anna Raiola and with the mentorship of Victoria McKenzie. The installation consists of photography, print material & objects, video, textile and a publication.

 

Nefes Care explores pathways for the transformation of carceral society into a care-based one, sourcing from intimate experiences of care constellations created in the face of violence. With disability justice as the main political framework, the production process was anchored in accessible production of artistic work, as a departure from the fast-paced hyper-able-bodied demands of the cultural industry. Taking the needed time, prioritizing well-being, centering in pleasure, extending care, love, support, encouragement, inspiration and holding evolving/growing possibilities.

​

The work was presented to the public on 31st August 2022, taking place at De Kwekerij of Corrosia Theater in Almere Haven.
