In an era of fitness programmes, record antidepressant usage, nutrition counselling and health-management apps, wellness is one of the defining issues of contemporary life, dictating every intimate aspect of our lives. Historically, art has been entwined with the values of medicine, beauty and the productive body that have defined the western scientific paradigms; contemporary artists are increasingly confronting and reshaping these ideologies, critically tackling illness and impairment in their practice while changing ableist institutional dynamics. At a moment in which epidemics and global warming menace all forms of life, this anthology engages with the ways the vulnerability of our bodies and the maladies that seize them also reveal structural aspects of our societies, exposing how health intersects with sexuality, ethnicity, gender, class and coloniality. By reclaiming other realities, beyond a state of health as a norm, this reader questions the myths, stigmas and cultural attitudes that shape normative perceptions, ultimately revealing the interdependence of our entangled existences.
