Listen "ABLE Voices Ep 40: Finnegan Shannon"
Episode Synopsis
We are inviting disabled artists and arts educators to be guests and guest hosts on ABLE Voices. Today's guest host is Anna Cowley Ford. Anna Cowley Ford is a post disciplinary artist from rural West Texas. Using her experiences living with chronic health conditions as a touchstone, Anna explores the often bizarre world of living with chronic pain and disabilities. Along with manifesting sensory experiences, her artwork conveys the social and domestic impacts of health conditions on a chronic scale. Ford's practice includes but is not limited to functional and sculptural ceramics, textiles, large scale installations, video, and accumulated medical objects and documents. Today, Anna will be interviewing Finnegan Shannon. Finnegan Shannon is an American multidisciplinary artist located in Brooklyn, New York, United States. Working primarily on increasing perceptions of accessibility, Finnegan's practice focuses on disability culture in inaccessible spaces. Finnegan is most known for their protest pieces such as art gallery benches criticizing lack of seating and lounges for those who cannot access stairs. The ABLE Voices podcast is produced and edited by BIAAE Operations Coordinator, Daniel Martinez del Campo. The introduction music was written by Kai Levin and the ending song was written by Sebastian Batista. Kai and Sebastian are students in the Arts Education Programs at the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education.For more information about our programs visit us at: https://college.berklee.edu/BIAAEFollow us for more weekly updates at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berkleeiaae/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BerkleeIAAE
