    Tactile Experience / Remembrance

    Hands cut out parts of medical letters. The letters are dispersed across the photo, with parts being blocked out. In the center, a tablet shows the website artwork Coding Weaving Medical Letters that remixes fragments of existing medical letters of different disabled and chronically ill people to create new letters.

    This screenshot from the website of CCCBLab shows the opening paragraph of the article in a pink font on a white background. The text reads: 'We are not here to tell you how to make X more accessible. We are not asking for [boxes to be checked] crumbs – we are asking for a culture shift and for long-held assumptions to crumble. We are asking for access, but more than that, we are calling for anti-ableism to be put into practice(s). Anti-ableism unmakes ableism, a form of oppression that hierarchizes people and practices in terms of ability, and is interwoven with racism, anti-queer sentiment, colonial disposession, classism, and other forms of structural oppression.'

    A person with long brown hair sits on a large pillow made from two fabrics, one of them black, one white-silvery transparent with tactile elements underneath its surface. The person is wearing headphones and using one of the tablets that show the website artwork. All around, there are people moving. A pink lamp offers soft pink light.

    Room with geometric fabric art installation in shades of purple, gray, and beige suspended from the ceiling. The fabric pieces each stand for a star costellation and are held together and hug with various hooks, chains and zippers. Two round gray cushions with shiny silver tops are on the glossy floor below, with star constellations charts atop.
