Exhibition Opening Saturday 29 March 2-4pm, Bankstown Arts Centre
Bone Drift: Chimeric Conversations is an exhibition exploring fluid (dis)ability identities, and strange and unexpected relations between materials, objects, bodies and people. It is the culmination of a collaboration between artist and researcher Helen Pynor and creative producer Lizzie Crouch at the intersection of art, medical science, disability theory and lived experience.
The exhibition features artefacts from a workshop series in which participants got hands-on with the materiality of real bone and the rituals involved in bone china object making, and created a series of personal objects using metal, wax, embroidery and bone china.
Featuring Pynor’s installation Habitation (2021), Bone Drift: Chimeric Conversations generates dialogue about porous boundaries and expanded ways to understand our evolving (dis)abled personal identities, now and into the future.
