Dadafest Pimp My Wheelchair
DDFI40: Pimp My Wheelchair Exhibition 9th March 2025 - 31st March 2025
DaDaFestInternational 40 brings you ‘Rage, A Quiet Riot!’.
Visit Sefton Park Palmhouse to enjoy the #DDFI40 Commission ‘Pimp my Wheelchair’ which showcases new work from artists Faith Bebbington and Janet Price.
Commissioned to create new work for DaDaFest International 40, responding to the theme of ‘Rage’, artists Faith Bebbington and Janet Price launch ‘Pimp my Wheelchair’. Faith and Janet are ‘pimping up’ our prosthetics, dressing up crutches, wheelchairs, hearing aids (and more) with sculptures inspired by plants that use defence mechanisms to express rage against attack. From the thorn that pricks, to plants with leaves that close against touch, the new sculptures celebrate their challenge to ableism in the world.
A sculptural installation amongst the plants at Sefton Park Palm House, featuring a series of new sculptures created by Faith Bebbington in collaboration with Janet Price will be available to view throughout the festival month. The plant inspired sculptures utilise a range of mobility aids combined with 3D elements created with waste materials.
There will be elements of pre-recorded Audio Description available and supporting audio information.
