The day before the exhibition Opulent Mobility opens at USC’s Hoyt Gallery on the Health Sciences Campus, artist and curator A. Laura Brody will discuss how conventional narratives around disability and chronic illness can be engaged and reimagined through artistic practice. From the history of adorning assistive devices such as wheelchairs and canes to contemporary artistic practices, Brody will help us imagine a world defined by disability-centered ethics and aesthetics.
A. Laura Brody is an artist and curator who sculpts for the human body and its vehicles. She founded and co-curates Opulent Mobility, a series of exhibits that reimagine disability and chronic illness as opulent and powerful. Her art has been shown at the Ikouii Creative, ACE/121 Gallery, Brea Gallery, Charles River Museum of Industry, Westbeth Center for the Arts, California State University at Northridge, Gallery Expo, Dora Stern Gallery, and the World of Wearable Art.
