POSTPONED: Educating otherwise: access as a process and an aesthetic

access as a process and an aesthetic – Evening lecture with Nina Muehlemann in the framework of the continued education program “Educating Otherwise”.

Both educational and theatre institutions assume a normative relationship between bodyminds, space and time. Institutions try to reduce the barriers that are consistently (re)errected through the assumption of this norm through "reasonable" adjustments and checklists. With her theory on "Crip Spacetime" disability scholar Margaret Price argues that access needs to be understood as a continuous process that unfolds through space and time. Using disability theory as well as her own experiences working in cultural and academic spaces, Nina Muehlemann discusses the creative posibilities that arise when access is understood as a process and an aesthetic

Nina Muehlemann (*1983 in Zurich) is an artist and disability scholar. In 2017 she completed her PhD at King’s College London in Disability Studies and Performance Studies. She has taught at King’s College London, ZHdK and is currently teaching at the University of Basel.

Since 2020 she is co-director of Criptonite, a queer-crip theatre project at Gessnerallee Zurich.
