Exhibition

(Con cuidado) is a research and artistic project based on the identity of the artist Helena Vinent as a deaf and disabled. Through this proposal, Vinent wants to subvert the ableist and paternalistic vision that categorized the disabled subject as retrieved, complacent, isolated, endearing, inhibited, submissive, inoffensive, and without political and sex-affective agency.

The exhibition is conceived as an imaginary world centered around the idea of a disabled band, understanding the concept of a band as a group of people coordinated on the basis of a common struggle, capable of disrupting the established order and regenerating scenarios. It is a call to action and to the self-recognition of the disabled, which immerses us in a dream-like conjuration and invites us to an encounter. In this encounter, desire, restlessness, provocation, rage, intuition, tenderness, play, fantasy and fear coexist between the real and the fictitious. An encounter in which one travels with care. With care because the disabled can feel the danger in a tangible way on them. With care because there is a need for collective self-care. And, above all, because disabled people feel that their time has come. With care because they are now part of a group that has started a countdown to take action.
