Filip Pawlak 2023-2025 work in progress

How does a social sense of pride in belonging to a particular social group emerge? Does it have to be founded on trauma? Do disabled people have access to their own melancholy and experience of grief?

The producer, performer and activist Filip Pawlak works with these questions within a larger research on disability that he is conducting in various formats and venues Filip Pawlak juxtaposes these topics with the experience of the LBGTQ+ community and links the two groups using references to important identity events – the AIDS epidemic and the COVID epidemic. 

He’s also reflecting it on his own biography and personal struggles with identities. 

Currently looking for producer / host to finish work on this lecture performance. Details after contact.
