Primitive way country come look inside

A disabled poet with Rett syndrome (Ysolde Stienon) and a disabled performing artist with Type 1 diabetes (Marina “heron” Tsaplina) document their 12-month artistic collaboration to illuminate ground-time: the nonverbal, expressive dynamics of embodied communication.

We provided audio description for two short, open captioned videos that are published along with an essay of the same name in the Leonardo journal, Volume 57, number 2. The two videos are linked in a section called “Supplementary data” at the end of the article. Here are direct links to Video 1 and Video 2. (Note, the videos play automatically when the URLs open.)

You do not need to register to read this article or play the videos, but some articles in the journal are locked and only available to those with accounts.
