Reframing the Myth - The Guardian, Kings Place, London (2016)
Researcher & Curatorial Assistant for Graeae Theatre Company
“Reframing the Myth” was a major exhibition celebrating 35 years of Graeae Theatre Company, presented at The Guardian’s exhibition space in Kings Cross. Produced in collaboration with the Central Illustration Agency, the exhibition paired 40 of CIA’s leading illustrators (including Sir Peter Blake) with 40 of Graeae’s performers, creating original works inspired by the experiences of D/deaf and Disabled performers, directors, and writers. The exhibition highlighted both the artistic achievements of Graeae’s community and the continuing challenges facing D/deaf and Disabled people under changes to the benefits system.
Working as part of the Graeae team, I contributed research and curatorial support across the display, including installation and lighting, as well as producing accessible interpretation (writing captions, and recording and editing audio tour segments) to ensure the work reached the widest possible audience.
