India Harvey is an artist and researcher whose work explores the possibilities of having multiple, distinct and complex relationships with the textures of our lived environments, how these relationships express themselves, and how we may be able to relate to others through shared exposure to unusual materiality, and what sensory experience can teach us.
In this film, India explores their practice and key interests, such as concepts of naughtiness, what happens in the margins of play, invisible child cultures, inclusion and access, and challenging systems and sensory hierarchies.
India’s work seeks to create spaces that enrich perceptual, cognitive and multi-sensory experiences of art by granting participants permission to interpret and understand on their own terms.
