I hv done brain check they say not much is a participatory performance and discussion with artist Carmen Hutchins.
This event offers a glimpse into the constant, rolling landscape of living with seizures. Structured as a performative reading group, it delves into the cryptic and charged typings found in the comment sections of random videos and cursed forum threads online. Hutchins edits and interweaves this found text with her own reflections and asides, creating a detailed mise-en-scène that portrays an experience of having seizures.
Participants are encouraged to sit in the unease of these perennial states of unrest, and to consider how such conditions resonate within their own lives and the lives of others.
Moving beyond the typical image of the convulsing figure, the work gestures towards a vast, neglected underbelly of community who are seeking solution and connection. Pushed to the fringes by the systemic failures of the capitalist humdrum and fragmented healthcare systems, they urgently demand immediate, compassionate attention.
