Unsettling Access
Care, Touch and Institutional Change
Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
Curated by Judith Leysner
Visual Design by Emirhan Akın
With Judith Leysner, Carolina Calgaro, Romany Dear, Grace Turtle, CAConrad, Elio J. Carranza
Radical accessibility is not just about accommodating; it is about transforming. It is about rethinking how institutions function, how art is experienced, and how care can be embedded in the very fabric of our spaces and interactions. Institutions—including art spaces—have long been complicit in exclusion, separation, and harm. But what happens when we place care, embodied experience, and sensory engagement at the core of our practices?
Through readings, play, embodied experiences, and meditations, this afternoon disrupts, expands, breaks open, and reaches outward.
