British Iranian artist and wheelchair user Anahita Harding considers the legacy of the London 2012 Paralympics Games in this performance

The media campaign surrounding the games aimed to shift negative attitudes towards disability. Despite ongoing efforts to destigmatise disability, many disabled people continue to experience hostility and discomfort in public settings.

Harding’s performance Are You Comfortable Yet? encourages visitors to reflect on their relationship to bodily difference. She says, ‘My work positions the disabled body to make it visible, where often it is erased, or made more palatable for a non-disabled audience. The more we normalise seeing disabled bodies, the less we will need to have these conversations.’

This work is part of We Are Invisible We Are Visible which marks the 102nd anniversary of the 1st International Dada Exhibition. Thirty-one d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent artists are staging interventions at thirty Plus Tate museums and galleries across the UK. Dada was an art movement formed in response to the horror and recklessness of the First World War.

We Are Invisible We Are Visible channels the defiant and absurdist spirit of the Dada movement, purposefully provoking visitors to reflect on the societal barriers that continue to restrict and exclude disabled people today.
