Four visual works that focus on stigmatisation, social isolation, racism, coloniality, and limitations in the contexts of Belgium, Pakistan, Colombia, and Portugal. The presentations let people with disabilities speak, identify and express their interactions, their social spatialisations, and the limitations and barriers that constitute their life experience; translate expressions of artists of colour into a visual poetic trip that may serve as a source for artists of colour to recognise and combat the various elements of marginalisation; provide investigative insights into the multiple dimensions associated with the Pakistani street performers using the monkey as their props; and reflect on the history and present effects of the power dynamics, resistance and the enduring fathoms that haunt us still today.
