Residency

Undue Burden

A community archive and event series by & for Disabled, Sick, neurodivergent, and MAD people in Philadelphia

October 19 – November 23, 2024

A detail of a digital rendering of a motif from the Undue Burden fabric archive installation. Four columns of interlocked hand-drawn, graphite hook and loop jewelry clasps float on a royal blue, turquoise, and orange checked background. A hand-drawn, graphite, biomorphic shape attached to two balloons floats in the middle of each turquoise check. Each hook and loop clasp contains an image from the Undue Burden archive. Three of the photos have QR codes to audio descriptions in the Undue Burden digital archive.

Upcoming Events

A picture of a collage of various artworks by Vinetta Miller. The background is purple. From top left: an orange and white fish with white and blue on its fins. The fish is blowing blue bubbles. Next to the drawing of the fish is a photograph of Vinetta’s black and white cat, Benjamin, seen here from behind as he relaxes in the “loaf” position. Next to the cat is a piece of art that looks like a person on their side, with pink skin, purple pants, and orange hair. In the next row of art, directly underneath is a Black person with yellow hair, blue eyes, red lips, and light purple clothing. To the right is a photograph of a tote bag with a diamond-shaped image in abstract green and blue coloring. Next to that is a portrait of a person with brown skin and grey hair and clothing on a pink background. The final piece in this row is a tiny picture of a tote bag with yellow dots around a painting of two people dressed in semi-formal attire. In the final row of the collage is another picture of Benjamin, Vinetta’s cat, this time from the front. Next to Benjamin is a cranberry-colored shirt with a drawing of a person’s head and hair in a type of bleached white. Finally, in the center of the picture is a bunch of baby photos of Vinetta, in sepia-tone, black and white, and color.
