Perspectives on Visibility: Hypervigilantes (2021)

The third of a series of collaborative films produced by APV (Access, Power, Visibility) collective: Arjun Harrison-Mann, Benjamin Redgrove, and Kaiya Waerea,

The films draw on Proxy Protest and Power Tool—which was made in collaboration with Disabled People Against Cuts to produce open-source access tools to protest via a physical proxy—to explore questions of access, visibility and forms of protest during lockdown.

In Hypervigilantes (2021) we connect the private space of the sickbed to the public site of resistance and protest, through using the phone proxy to broadcast a speech drawing from crip writers and artists speculating on disability, capitalism and colonialism.
