Foam 3h presents You Don’t Look Sick, the first solo exhibition by artist Jasmijn Vermeeren. From a deeply personal perspective, Vermeeren sheds light on living with an invisible disability. In conversations about diversity and inclusion within society, the position of people with hidden mental and/or physical disabilities often remains underexposed. You Don’t Look Sick offers an intimate experience, inviting visitors to step into the everyday reality of those for whom this life is the norm.

Living with an invisible disability, physical and/or mental

Through photography, video and sculptural work, Vermeeren reflects on her own experiences with chronic pain and societal assumptions surrounding health and identity.

She identifies as crip: a term that encompasses various forms of disability, such as physical, mental, sensory, and learning disabilities. Vermeeren thus challenges normative notions of functionality and normality.

You Don't Look Sick welcomes visitors to the artist's world, where emotions are welcome and space is given for reflection, to rediscover what it means to be yourself.

The opening of You Don't Look Sick by Jasmijn Vermeeren is on December 4th from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
