As part of my research I am developing artistic-pedagogic practice, leading to the pre-examined artistic part of my doctoral project. On this page you can find information about my recent artistic-pedagogic work. BECOMING DISABLED: PERFORMATIVE WORKSHOP-INSTALLATION Camino Events, Research Pavilion, Venice 30.6.-1.7.2017 Liisa Jaakonaho & Kristina Junttila In summer 2017 I collaborated with artist-researcher Kristina Junttila at the Research Pavilion, Venice Biennale. The theme of the Research Pavilion 2017 was “The Utopia of Access”. Our performative workshop-installation circled around the theme of disability and access. In our ongoing collaboration we approach disability as a category that can be explored creatively; as a culture specific social construction, rather than a biological fact. The workshop was influenced by performance theory, critical pedagogy and post-humanist, critical disability studies; notions of performativity, embodiment, materiality, dependency, relationality, and normativity. During the workshop we constructed an installation, consisting of photographs, drawings, text, and other traces from the exercises that we facilitated. An article about our collaboration was published Uniarts Helsinki's IssueX magazine. You can read the article HERE. We have also written about the project in the Research Pavilion blog.
