Johanna Hedva
Art Review
·Spring 2024
Where do crip theory, AI-generative technology and goth subculture converge? Johanna Hedva, whose work harnesses these disparate subjects, might reply: in their relevance to a subversion of the ‘normative’ body. The prolific multidisciplinary artist’s contributions to fiction, theory, music and visual art are all the more impressive because of the cluster of debilitating comorbid maladies with which they are afflicted. Hedva published ‘Sick Woman Theory’ in 2016 as a radical call for protest by the subjugated and oppressed – pointedly not contingent on a neurotypical or able body. . .
