Reading – Venus in Scorpio by Lauryn Youden

7.30 – 8 pm
Museum, first floor

As part of the opening of Interdependencies: «Interdependencies: Perspectives on Care and Resilience», Lauryn Youden reads from her series of works on display, Venus in Scorpio.

Lauryn Youden is a Canadian poet, performance and installation artist based in Berlin. Her practice derives from her research and navigation through the medical industrial complex / colonial medicine, «alternative» healing practices, and traditional medicine for the treatment of her chronic illnesses and disabilities. By publicly presenting her personal experiences and queer crip reevaluations of history, her work illuminates and advocates for repressed, marginalized, and forgotten forms of radical care and crip knowledge.

Youden was awarded the Berlin Art Prize (2016) and is founder and former co-director of Ashley Berlin, and member of Sickness Affinity Group (SAG).
