Sickness Affinity Group (SAG)
- No Content Warnings ( please add if you see fit )
Public support and resource group for artists, cultural workers, and other with chronic illness, disability, who are care-giving, or interested in activism around accessibility.
Sickness Affinity Group (SAG) is a group of art workers and activists who work on the topic of sickness/disability and/or are affected by sickness/disability. Sickness Affinity Group functions as a support group that challenges the competitive and ableist mode of working in the arts by sharing experiences and information and by prioritizing the well-being and access needs of its group members.
Sickness Affinity Group investigates accessibility as both a topic and curatorial method. We aim to celebrate and create room for non-normative bodies, politics, and desires, as well as offering a supportive environment for fragility and wellbeing. Sickness Affinity Group holds bi-monthly meetings in Berlin and maintains an email list. Sickness Affinity Group members collaborate on projects in small working groups and report back from their process in the bi-monthly meetings.
