Things I Have Learned The Hard Way

One Day I Will Feel My Power was a one-off event which took place on Wednesday 12 April at the ICA cinema in London, streamed online and recorded by Wysing Broadcasts.

A recording of the event, courtesy of Wysing Broadcasts, was available to view for one month after the show.

Two of Lizzy’s video works were screened at the event alongside video works and readings from Leah Clements, R A Walden, Abi Palmer, Benedict Drew, Alice Hattrick,  and Carolyn Lazard: artists who are friends and peers of Lizzy’s, many of whom formed her crip artist community, with chronic illness, neurodivergence or disability central to their work.

One Day I Will Feel My Power  is curated by Leah Clements who was in residence with Lizzy at Wysing Arts Centre in 2018, which produced the outcome Access Docs For Artists: an online resource to help disabled art workers make and use ‘Access Docs’ - documents that outline a person’s access needs. This resource, launched by Lizzy, Leah, and Alice Hattrick in 2019, has had a wide beneficial impact, leading to the artists being named on The Innovator’s List for 2020 (Artnet Intelligence Report), and is a big part of Lizzy’s legacy.

In the lead-up to the Wysing residency, Leah also worked with Lizzy and Alice on the event ‘On Cripping’ at the ICA, and this event will be hosted by these two organisations to continue their relationship with Lizzy’s work.

The event will be BSL interpreted, with the option of live audio description for those watching at home, and it will be available to view online for 3 months after the event.

Mounted on the wall is a floral arrangement in fluffy white chrysanthemums, simultaneously cheerful and morbid – this is the type of arrangement you get at funerals spelling out “MUM”, but this one spells out “BRB”. For those of you too old or young to get the text-speak reference, BRB stands for Be Right Back. This is a reinterpretation of a live performance of Lizzy’s from 2015. During a long hospital stay, she set up a camera to livestream her studio, trained upon the floral arrangement, which decayed as time went by. The arrangement will look different depending on when you come to the exhibition, wilting and discolouring as the days pass.
