Art & disability

La Belle Brute's fourth release dedicated to "Art Brut" French artist Jean-Marie Massou, which delves his "novels", a series of sound fictions, created over the last two decades of his life, intertwining striking narratives via spoken text accompanied by collages of sound effects, music, and ambient sounds.

Inter 143 invites you to explore Mad art, Crip art, disabled art, deaf art, raw art, edible art, situated art and inclusive art: all ways of perceiving, thinking and creating by people with different abilities (physical, intellectual, cognitive, mental, sensory, learning, language and communication skills) or functional diversity.

This album retraces ten years of practice by the contemporary mixed choir of sighted and blind people founded by vocalist, improviser, composer and researcher Natacha Muslera, which explores compositional modes distanced from the visual field, drawing inspiration from ecosystems and biotopes and blending ancestral and experimental vocal practices.

Issue 54 "Voicings" explores modes of being, perception and expression that have been historically and often violently disabled by society. Focusing on art practices that centre the perspective of D/deaf and non-verbal communicators, it proposes reconfigurations of voice, language and sound. It asks readers to tune into a chorus of voicings, not necessarily audible, but perceivable as "atmospheres", "vibrations", "rhythms".
