In April 2023 I delivered a provocation at Autograph ABP’s Rights in Focus Conference entitled What is Photography doing about the Medical Gaze? I shared some of my archive research and traced the historical links between photography and ableism - asking what artists, researchers, curators and educators can do to deconstruct these histories and bring their practices in-line with work being done to challenge other structures of power, privilege and exclusion.
All the provocations that afternoon were focused around disability justice in the arts, and it was a real pleasure to be part of such an insightful and thought-provoking programme of events.
