Exhibition by Schlafendehundewecken, Jasmin Polsini and Mynt (Valentin Weilenmann).

The installation shows two 216 x 204.6 cm pictures on two sides of the mobile art space "Akku Kunstkiste Uster". An audio description of both pictures can be accessed via QR code in the framed area of this panel.

Both pictures consist of a total of 924 tiles, measuring 9.3 × 9.3 cm. Each tile, but also connected areas made up of several tiles, tell of feelings, insights, experiences, facts and metaphors relating to disability. One overall picture deals with the current situation, the other describes a possible inclusive future.

Jasmin Polsini, who is herself affected by a rare disease, and her partner of many years, Mynt (Valentin Weilenmann), used their own everyday experiences to create the tiles over a period of six months. The artist couple designed the tiles, which are made of beer mats, by hand using various different techniques. They have equipped and positioned the art box in such a way that the artwork should be as accessible as possible.

The aim of the socially critical installation is to open up a space for thought between today and an inclusive tomorrow. A space in which the reality of life for people with disabilities can become accessible to the wider normative society. Understanding the realities of each other's lives is the basis for empathetic cooperation and ultimately for an inclusive society.

The installation can be seen every day and also at night in the Stadtpark Uster until 5.9.2024.
