TRANSFORMATION
A survey based show featuring a retrospective collection of artworks by multidisciplinary artist Helena Eflerová integrated with work by disabled artists. The artworks draw focus to the resemblances between both Eflerová’s and the disabled artists’ practices. The exhibition will give audiences an insight into both practices; blurring the distinctions between the work Eflerová produces in her independent practice and research surrounding experiences of conception, pregnancy, birth and early postnatal life with work created in workshops which she facilitates for adults with learning disabilities at The Lantern Community. Advocating inclusion and participation in quality contemporary art, this exhibition and accompanying conference, publication and live performance will invite debate challenging attitudes to arts and disability.
