Lovely, sun-filled room is perfect for plants. (The lucky lady who lives here says, “ Y’all… I am never going to get over how privileged I am to be living in this room.”)

carmen papalia:

From the series on replacing his cane, this is one where he replaced his cane with a megaphone and would stand at intersections repeating “I can’t see” until somebody would stop and help him cross the street

Another cane replacement, this time replacing it with a high school marching band who would change the music depending on if there was something in the way or not.

A museum intervention where he got people at the MET to go through the museum with their eyes closed and experiencing touching things he’d gotten permission to touch (the floor in this image) and just exploring a visual art museum blind.

The Blind Field Shuffle, in which he has dozens of people form a conga line behind him with their eyes closed and leads them on a blind tour of the city - literally the blind leading the blind.

Wish I could find a better photo, but this is a museum gallery he curated where the works are almost at floor height, making them accessible to children, little people, and people in wheelchairs, but requiring abled people to bend down or sit on the floor in order to see them properly.

november 26, 2017 » i wish i could fall back asleep for a little bit and enjoy the morning in bed for a little longer, but i must start the day strong to end strong.

Two things I’m working on today: I am the co-editor of a special edition of the Goldsmiths literature journal (GLITS), so I’m currently checking over peer review sheets and manuscript feedback from our board of editors. 

I am also writing questions for an event I’ve been putting together as part of Alternative Careers Week at Goldsmiths, which is a conversation about the challenges facing prospective academics between myself, Dhanveer Brar, Beth Guilding, Jake Hall, Akanksha Mehta and Roberto Mozzachiodi.

He doesn’t want you to be real, to think and to live. He doesn’t love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.
