Aphasic Readings

a presentation by Cathalijne Smulders (Visual artist; Open Set participant)

In her performative practice, Cathalijne Smulders makes people with different identities interact through smell, sound, touch, gesture, and movement. She created work together with people suffering from schizophrenia, with contemporary dancers and people with spasticity and with people with aphasia, a speech impediment, and a choir. Her performative way of working often results in porous and poetic interactions and the experience of alternative, sensuous ways to relate to the other and our environment.
