April 23-24, 2026 | Micro-Lab: "Spaces of Care and Companionship"
A project For Culture Workers by Migros Culture Percentage disframe and Claire Cunnigham Projects
A small, dedicated group of arts workers from the cultural/creative sector in Switzerland will participate in a bespoke workshop with Saphir Ben Dakon (from disframe) and Nadja Dias (Claire Cunningham Projects) on anti-ableist, disability led/informed artist support & producing practices to consider how we can host artists in order to co-create and support spaces of care as companions of disabled artists, using our roles as culture workers, as alleys, to do so.
The two groups (Artists and Culture Workers), who have been working in parallel, will weave together to share their thoughts, feelings and findings in a joint sharing session, hosted by Luke Pell.
Together we will gather and share skills in paying attention to ourselves - and others - to better appreciate what our differing ways of being in the world bring to our artistic practices and creative processes.
Via small conversations, creative actions and encounters we will begin to make a map of possibilities and practical tools to use in our work alongside each other and the disabled futures we want to dream.
