Summerhall Lab Sharing: Risky Bodies

It’s there apparently, living within my body, within yours too

They saw it

With a clinical gaze, they consulted the charts, the grams, the screens, the rays

and decided…

Risky.

Risky Bodies examines the label of ‘vulnerable’ as an individual and collective identity during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through the lens of a mother-daughter collaboration, we explore the complexities and possibilities of shared vulnerability, seeking to understand and represent shifting perceptions of interdependence and care.

Risky Bodies was developed by Emily and Cherrie Beaney during a Summerhall Lab week earlier this year.  Please join us for a showing of the short film which was made from the Lab, followed by a Q&A with the artists.
