Part of the More-than-Human World with Hanna Cormick
Host Áine Kellly-Costello talks to Hanna Cormick, a performance artist based in so-called Australia. Hanna's work viscerally depicts the connectedness of our bodies and their needs, with not only other human beings, but also the ecological systems we sometimes forget we're embedded in. Some of these ideas might seem abstract but as the conversation unfolds, Hanna makes them tangible through taking us inside her own embodied experience and artistic practice.

Image description: This is a picture of “The Mermaid” by Hanna Cormick. Hanna, a white woman, is sitting in her bright yellow wheelchair. The wheelchair is covered in seaweed, as Hanna is on a beach. She’s wearing a mermaid tail and a matching bikini top. Both are covered in magenta and blue fish scale. She’s wearing an oxygen mask with sea shells on her head. The background is the sea, with a huge boulder. This piece was a coming-out as disabled for Hanna.
