Above artwork created by Jeremy Sicile-Kira, an Autistic non-verbal artist with synesthesia. He uses his synesthesia to create pieces like the one I used above, translating people's emotions and words into colors. You can view more of his work here.
Project Overview
Throughout our time in class, I've been thinking a lot about the history of hospitalizations of disabled individuals, especially during our reading of "Good Kings, Bad Kings". Our work with CCW, as well, sparked my curiosity in the current ways of building community outside of medical institutions. I wanted to focus my project specifically on psychatric wards, looking at the history of these wards and what they are like now, using my own experience in psychatric wards to guide my learning.
Two of the works that inspired this project.
