Edie
Edie is a mover and artist, currently living and working with a connectivity disorder and chronic injury. Over the past six years, their practice has emerged at the intersection of movement, somatics, and systems thinking, shaped by lived experience, access needs, and care-based methodologies. Their practice draws on tools for embodiment, resulting in a diverse use of materials and tentacular methodologies that explore softness, interdependence, and refusal of productivity norms.
Alongside artistic research, Edie investigates housing solidarity networks and resourcefulness as both survival strategy and kink. They are deeply committed to access rights, redistribution of privilege, and making accessibility not only possible but desirable—cool, even. Their work embraces unproductivity, fermentation (literal and metaphorical), and finding gentleness within hard things. Since finishing their studies at Sead (2020) they have worked somewhat nomadically between collectives and social housing projects throughout Europe.
They enjoy drinking tea with milk.
