Event description

SPACED Zine hot off the press in time for International Day of People with Disability and Christmas! Created by The Waiting Room Arts Company with Deaf & Disabled artists, poetically tackling all the taboos to create space.

The Waiting Room Arts Company brings you SPACED, a sought-after Zine originally created for FUSE Darebin (Spring, 2021). Australian Artists Jessica Kapuscinski-Evans, Chelle Destefano, Andy Jackson, Alex Creece, Liel Bridgford, Lauren Rosenberg, and Stevie (Stephanie Russell- Farnham) collaborate to create art that tackles the taboo subjects within Disability and Mental Health, with creative facilitation by Milly Cooper and Jess Kapuscinski-Evans, produced by Sarah Houbolt. 

SPACED is a cry for solidarity between members of the disability community and those who identify as D/deaf. It gets deep and meaningful about mental illness and physical impairment. It tackles all the forbidden subjects like religion, advocacy and curing disabilities. It asks questions like that funny one: does art makes you mentally ill or do you have to be mentally ill to make art?

SPACED is one of many projects to come that are works of art that Jess wished she knew about as a kid, but didn’t because of the mythology and stigma around being D/deaf and/or disabled and mentally ill. It unites live performance, visual art, dance, the online and the old-fashioned printed word. It brings together emerging and established artists with different experiences of disability who also come from other marginalised communities, to celebrate the many voices that exist in our society.

Spaced is THE space to shatter stigma and celebrate our whole selves; Spaced is for the children and young people who crave to see their experiences and bodies reflected in our literature and live streams.
