Lara Chapman

I write about design and drink excessive amounts of teas.

Sometimes I curate exhibitions and make stuff too.

[Disegno @DisegnoJournal]

With enough time and pressure, anything could become a fossil. @LaraChapman meets the designers doing new things with one of the Earth's oldest forms.

~⬜️ON GEOFOAM⬜️~ @k_pendergrast and I wrote this essay about geofoam for @the_prepared. Soon, you too will be asking yourself what dwells beneath us: is it dirt, or giant blocks of polystyrene?

Thx to @pencerw for commissioning on such a perfect topic.

.@LaraChapman's roundtable interview is fiery, uplifting & unapologetic, centering on the prickly &enduring fight of the Disability Rights Movement, which inspired the "nothing about us without us" rally so often heard in the indie doc film world these days-was a pleasure to edit

[Lara Chapman @LaraChapman]

This conversation taught me so much about disability rights, radical visibility, protest, hacking tech, the beauty of asking for help, the nuances and dangers of the term "public" and so much more.
Thank you Arjun Harrison-Mann, Benjamin Redgrove and Kaiya Waerea & @immersenow

Our latest release: @LaraChapman sits down with the creators of A DIY Guide to Proxy Protest to talk #accessibility, interrogating the public's relationship to visibility, and the DIWO (do it with others) mentality! https://t.co/WsM6T89J8l

Chatting with Sean Rafferty about his recent work "Nauru" and thinking about how and why we mobilise collections was a real privilege. Thanks @ArtMonthlyAU for giving me space to do so.

[Art Monthly Australasia @ArtMonthlyAU]

Driven by his "ongoing dismay with our nation’s treatment of refugees" artist Sean Rafferty's latest work Nauru (2020) interrogates Australia's refugee crisis. In our latest blog post Rafferty explains his new artwork to Lara Chapman. Read now:

This was such a fascinating conversation that made me think about the act of refusal as well as care and activism in so so many new ways. Really recommend a listen. Thank you @luizaprado, @jacobinoire, @covenberlin, Terence Sharpe and @norette 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️

So glad they’ve introduced these new ‘slicing tomatoes’ so I can finally stop having to pull tomatoes apart with my fists

[Lara Chapman @LaraChapman]

Was a pleasure to think/write about how we visually communicate the climate crisis for @footprint_mag and look at some great work being done by @itsfreezinginla, Adapt, @guardian, See Climate Change and @climatevisuals

This minuscule chameleon – believed to be the smallest reptile on the planet - has made my day!

Love this line in the article: "The chameleon is Brookesia nana, abbreviated to B. nana (if you squint, it does kind of look like a banana)."
