(para)site: a discharge of cultural fluid
‘(para)site' is an installation and site-specific performance art action responding to the Thames and Deptford Foreshore.
‘(para)site’ is a continuation of zack’s research into the intersections of class, disability and ecology. This action-based work and installation responds to their memories of growing up in a working-class community along the industrialised Thames in South Essex, and their experiences as a medicalised, societally infantilised disabled & neurodivergent queer person.

Curated by Benjamin Sebastian & Joseph Morgan Schofield.
