SAVERIO CANTONI:\u00a0<\/b>The opposite of silence is a shockwave
\n<\/i><\/b>Jasbir K. Puar analyses in The Right to Maim<\/i> how the production of most of the world\u2019s disability happens through colonial violence, developmentalism, the disparity of resources, war, and genocide. For my project at Bulegoa z\/b, I will collaborate with Spanish-Brazilian researcher J\u00falia Ayerbe, whose work focuses on dissident corporalities, accessibility, and publishing practices, to examine the EU border paradigm \u2013 the externalization of the European border and its disablement\/debilitation of non-EU citizens \u2013 through this framework.<\/p>\n

Informed by Crip Theory and Queer Theory and following the principles of Disability Justice, a movement founded by queer, disabled artists and activists of color in response to exclusion from mainstream disability rights and ableism in activist spaces, my collaboration with J\u00falia Ayerbe seeks to reframe accessibility not as an afterthought of institutional obligation but as a speculative, fluid practice \u2013 interrogating cultural, political, and historical infrastructures that determine whose bodies, knowledges, and futures are deemed viable.<\/p>\n

Saverio Cantoni<\/b> (b. 1985, IT) is a white-passing, disabled \u2013 oral Deaf \u2013 artist based in Berlin. Working across media, their practice treats making as material knowledge: approaching sound, pigments, and custom devices as living carriers of memory and resistance, in an ongoing exploration of an \u201caesthetics of access\u201d and its potential for non-normative world-making. Saverio\u2019s solo and collaborative work \u2013 as a member of the Sickness Affinity Group (SAG) and as an activist across different alliances \u2013 aims to destabilize power structures and rethink normative understandings of sensorial experiences.<\/p>\n
