Emily Beaney: Deviant
Experience an experimental moving-image work by Emily Beaney which seeks to represent lived experiences of endometriosis.
Addressing health inequalities and ‘diagnostic imperialism’, which exerts power over who has access to support and who does not, the project examines the label of ‘deviance’ when applied to women’s bodies, using endometriosis as a potent example of pain being side-lined as deviance.
The 16mm moving image work was developed collaboratively, through workshops exploring sound, movement and form, with community group The EndoWarriors.
Exploring themes of stigma, chronic pain and collective care, unpredictable rhythms of endometriosis experience inform, mark and interrupt the piece.
Communicating with the senses, sharing knowledge with, through and between thinking bodies, Deviant aims to reveal the internal sensations, thoughts and emotions of endometriosis experience that remain hidden / unheard.
