This artist to artist conversation will include candid insight into the perils of making autobiographical art, along with a discussion on the ideas and discoveries that emerged on their recent London residency.

“Get In Loser, We’re Going Shopping” was a Submerge 2021 one-to-one performance micro-commission. The piece uses the artist’s experiences of supermarket shopping as a person with dwarfism to begin a conversation around privilege and Ableism; the conscious or unconscious discrimination against the disabled community.

Tammy is interested in exploring the supermarket as a site of art-making, protest, and change;

“It’s a political act to leave the house for a disabled person, especially a physically disabled person. I would say that the things I’m doing aren’t vulnerable, but they’re vulnerable because of the body that I have. The reason why the things that I write do seem vulnerable is because they are probably coming from a deeper place of vulnerability because I’m being pushed there by society.”
