Accessibility without a compass: Transdisciplinary choreographies beyond the habitus of visual perception

This article explores how transdisciplinarity might offer a helpful conceptual framework for taking seriously how artistic curiosities and desires converge around questions of access. My suggestion is that artists working at the borderlines of disability justice do so not only in the interest of a more inclusive, just society – but also to rediscover their working processes in new and unfamiliar configurations and collaborations. In making this point, I pursue what Natalie Loveless calls the ‘polydisciplinamory’ nature of contemporary research-creation – i.e., an eros-driven curiosity about how things are made, and a renewed care for the specificities of their sensuous form.

Abstract

This article explores how transdisciplinarity might offer a helpful conceptual framework for taking seriously how artistic curiosities and desires converge around questions of access. My suggestion is that artists working at the borderlines of disability justice do so not only in the interest of a more inclusive, just society – but also to rediscover their working processes in new and unfamiliar configurations and collaborations. In making this point, I pursue what Natalie Loveless calls the ‘polydisciplinamory’ nature of contemporary research-creation – i.e., an eros-driven curiosity about how things are made, and a renewed care for the specificities of their sensuous form.
