Systems of Pain/Networks of Resilience

Abstract

Systems of Pain/Networks of Resilience (Moment Two) is a transcript of a video, a chapter in an interdisciplinary research project. Artist Meghan Moe Beitiks interviewed people with personal or professional experience of recovery, combining their voices into scores for performances, videos, and installations. Stigma and prejudice emerge as barriers to healing across processes and species. Audio Describer Katie Murphy worked on many chapters of the project, making the work accessible to the blind. In this chapter of the work, Beitiks hands her research over to Murphy, asking her to use it as a form of description for the work.
