PASCCAL Project

AHRC funded project - Paralympics, Social Change and Cultural Legacy

[Bournemouth Uni @bournemouthuni]

The bodyparts exhibition at the Asia House Gallery features works created by some of the UK’s leading disabled & able bodied artists, representing the artist’s response to societal perceptions of able & disabled bodies. The exhibition closes at 6pm today so see it while you can!

[University of Bath @UniofBath]

Research @UniofBath and @bournemouthuni into the public's response to the 2012 and 2016 Paralympic Games has been the inspiration for an art exhibition this week @asiahouseuk in Marylebone.

Come and see ‘Meet the Superhumans! Putting them on a pedestal’ sculpture by James Lake at #bodypartsAHRC at Asia House between 10am and 6pm today, tomorrow and Friday!

The ‘superhuman’ figure depicts dominant, normalised constructions of para-sport focused on heroic actions. The text in the plinth speaks to other narratives of disability which are often marginalised including disabilities seen to be caused by ‘bad life choices’. #bodypartsAHRC
