Aisle

Animation, poetry, and vocal soundscape come together in an exploration of the everyday ableism faced by disabled people.

A character with albinism leads us through three different supermarket experiences. In the first scenario, she visits a pre-pandemic supermarket where she meditates on the inaccessibility of public space, and the complex systems that disabled people have to create for themselves in order to live in an able-bodied world.

In the second scenario, we see how lockdown has disrupted these systems and further complicated her relationship with her surrounding environment.

The film ends in a ‘dream supermarket’ - an entire reworking of what we have come to accept as the norm, a hopeful vision for an inclusive future.
