The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.
(McLuhan, 1954)
Molly Bonnell (they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist and facilitator based in London. With an emphasis on participatory and social practice, their work investigates the ways in which we care for ourselves, our planet and our communities. As a chronically ill Disabled person, their work explores the complicated relationship between the human body and the systems society has constructed to maintain it, often collaborating with marginalised groups within the disabled community, particularly those with mental health diagnoses and chronic illnesses. They are interested in the materiality of our everyday lives and discovering ways to translate traditional art and craft processes into accessible mediums. Through exploring these relationships, there is an opportunity to authentically and empathetically create a more inclusive and sustainable future.
