Great day yesterday with @uwe_mavr students Atanas Great day yesterday with @uwe_mavr students Atanas Voynov, John Ralph's, and Salsabina Gunawan presenting their MA project based on our project brief around accessing the Forest through XR/VR. Highlights included a sensory box which contained bottles of forest essences, a plushy animal spirit guide, and forest finds. I really enjoyed hearing the students development process and the levels of thought they'd put into it, as well as experiencing the forest immersion itself. Real food for thought, on ways to use technology to connect to natural spaces. With @inbetweentime #uwe #vr #xr #digitalart #forest
Great to meet with @inbetweentime yesterday and st Great to meet with @inbetweentime yesterday and start thinking about how my new project will be developing over the next 3 years. #forest #bed #inequality #access #disabled #mentalhealth #chronicillness #artist #communityengagement #newdirections

Part of my video interruption reel shown on @bigsc Part of my video interruption reel shown on @bigscreensouthend for #WAIWAV at @focalpointgallery People died unecessarily as a result of the government's poor policy decisions during the pandemic. Their narrative portraying disabled people as 'vulnerable' allowed people to excuse their actions, and disregard us as collateral damage. We are not fragile, wispy, less-valuable people. We are strong people put at risk by poor policies. We reject these labels, we will not be bound by them. This film has no narration, but is set to a simple digital sound composition led by a heartbeat. #art #artistfilm #digital #disabilityrights #equality #diversity #disabilityarts #politicalartists #activism #dada #DashArts #basketcase #Unlimited #fragile #disabled #mentalhealth #lockdownart #baskets #basketweaving #weaving #barriers #resilience
This time last week I was being A Complete Basketc This time last week I was being A Complete Basketcase in Southend for #WAIWAV Really enjoyed conversations with visitors, with topics ranging from weaving with foraged fibres and leeks, going to art school at 20, going back to art school at at 50+, listening to your inner voice and mental heath, what the future holds, disability arts, rules in lockdown in residential placements, to peer advocating for the rights of learning disabled adults. #basketcase #disabilityarts #weaving #baskets #barriers #equality #discrimination #disabled #mentalhealth #lockdown #covid #art #performance #film #digitalart #craft #contemporarybaskets Photos credit Euan McAleece

Today is #WAIWAV day! 31 disabled artists at 30 ga Today is #WAIWAV day! 31 disabled artists at 30 galleries nationwide, will be presenting their art interventions today. I will be weaving and chatting at @focalpointgallery throughout the day, whilst my video interruptions play on the Big Screen. I have brought with me a selection of the baskets I have woven throughout lockdown. All the Lockdown Baskets are featured on my website kristinaveasey.com (link in bio) Each have snippets of insight around the disabled experience under covid. Lockdown is not over for many sick and disabled people, and Long Covid has only amplified existing conditions for some of us, myself included. So, I will be keeping myself at a distance from visitors, behind a cordon of fragile tape. Feel free to come and have a chat! A friendly reminder - if you have any covid symptoms or think you may have been exposed, please be considerate and do the right thing. You will be able to view the digital work online in the next few days and are always free to interact via social media. #disability #disabled #chronicillness #basketcase #weaving #contemporarybaskets #dada #artist #baskets #mentalhealth #activism #equality #performance #intervention #takeover #pandemic #lockdown #covid #barriers
