Barbies, Bodies, and Bondage is the initial development of an interactive experience exploring the intersections of Disability, beauty, and mythology.
The Barbie: A housewife. The body: Disabled. The Bondage: That is up to you to decide.
At what point does an obsession with “fixing” a failing body become harmful?
Zandra Paxton (creator/Housewife), explores what it means for a Disabled individual to have ownership over their own body. In a kooky, warped reality where a housewife marries her Doctor, you’re invited into their home to reminisce, laugh, and speculate the boundaries between care and harm. Some participation is encouraged, but it is more than ok to take a “fly on the wall” approach as the events unfold.
Approximate running time: 30 mins
