Mixed Feelings

mixed feelings is a radio show exploring accessibility in the arts from the experience and practices of disabled artists worldwide.

With a commitment to practices that explore sounds in all forms, the mixed feelings show is co-curated by Saverio Cantoni and Dana Cermane, in spoken language (mainly English) and sign language (mainly International Sign Language). Screenreader-accessible transcripts accompany each episode. Accessibility is an empowering creative territory. How would the radio be if it were accessible to Deaf folks? Are we willing to give space to the Deaf community in the conventionally hearing-only territory? mixed feelings merges conversation and sound art, music, and experimental practices transforming our present. This fluid format evolves over time because accessibility is still a very speculative practice, and the folks involved in this project will shape it by merging individual experiences and communal thinking.

Saverio Cantoni (b. 1985, IT) is a white-passing cyborg, disabled – oral Deaf – artist based in Berlin. Working through the lenses of Crip theory, and Queer theory, Saverio’s practice aims to destabilize existing power structures and to rethink the normative understanding of sensorial experiences.
