An artistic proposition that challenges our perception of ‘dis’-ability

The OtherAbilities is a three-day festival including an exhibition, performances, talks and a workshop that aims to challenge the ways the culture disciplines our senses and our relation to reality. By bringing together artists and scientists who create objects and situations enabling people to participate disregarding their physical abilities, we want to signal the possibility for a paradigm shift from disability to otherability. By merging art and technology we are exploring ways of creating cultural events and artifacts from which no body is excluded.

Within the talks programme Paulien Melis from Waag will be give a presentation on MakeHealth and Careables on March 3rd.
