TransHuman Embodiment and Beyond

A poster of TransHuman Embodiment and Beyond performance, with a photo in the middle, of artist and performer Rachel Gadsden wearing black, a leather corset and pannier skirt with syringes attached, painting an image of an abstract body, with a music score by Freddie Meyers woven through the photo.

Friday 1 September, 7.30pm – 8pm

The Foyer, Fairfield Halls

Disabled visual and performance artist Rachel Gadsden, and sound designer Freddie Meyers, have created a dynamic live art and sound performance that takes the audience on a journey exploring notions of TransHuman Embodiment. Through their combined art practices, Gadsden and Meyers consider how chronic illness and disability not only present challenges, but also empower and authorise agency of the body.
