Perspective, solo exhibition by Molly Joyce
In January 2022, composer Molly Joyce’s installation Perspective opened at Second Shift as a part of the Great Northern Festival.
Perspective is an ongoing multimedia project featuring words and stories of disabled interviewees set within a complementary soundscape. Joyce engaged with the Twin Cities' multifaceted disability community, and produced a winter iteration of the project—exploring concepts of darkness, resilience, isolation, restraint, and more. Interviewees included legendary disability activists local to the area: musician Gaelynn Lea; storyteller Kevin Kling; yoga teacher Matthew Sanford; and connections with local disability groups the Self-Advocacy Advisory Committee of The Arc, Dreamland Arts, and Interact Center.
