‘Ableism as Usual? ‘Eine Einführung in die Geschichte von Kunst und Behinderung’ (Ableism as Usual? An introduction to the history of art and disability) by Steven Solbrig and Dirk Sorge, book presentation and conversation with Dirk Sorge and Kate Brehme, 27.10.2023, 6 pm
Trigger warning: The video talks about violence against and killing people with disabilities.
How were people with disabilities negotiated, treated and portrayed in the past? What does all this have to do with the visibility of art and culture with disabilities today? How is ableism reflected in society and art? Which artists with disabilities are currently actually recognized in the German art and culture sector, who and where not? And does the equal recognition and participation of disabled artists require an art history with a disability? Steven Solbrig and Dirk Sorge investigate these questions and on the basis of examples.
Published as a prelude to the series ‘Schaudepot Recherchen’ (Schaudepot Research):

About the series
The ‘Schaudepot Recherchen’ (Schaudepot Research) series features lecture scripts, conference and workshop results, organized by the first Schaudepot for the Performing Arts and edited by Melanie Mohren and Bernhard Herbert. The common theme of all issues in the series is the question of the artistic expansion of theatre vernaculars, along with the de-hierarchization of different forms of perception and knowledge. In this way, the ‘Schaudepot’ can become a ‘Schaudepot’ that not only can be watched and observed, but is also a vehicle for implementing a multifaceted contemporary space in the everyday life of a Stuttgart residential district with all its sensitivities and contradictions.
