Artist collective Aha Ensemble present a newly commissioned participatory installation Absolutely Everybody Judges. Working across Southeast Queensland and driven by an ethos of connection, curiosity, and care, Aha Ensemble use their bodies to explore representation, question value, and challenge assumptions about ways of being in the world.

Having worked primarily in performance, Absolutely Everybody Judges is the collective’s first installation. Underpinned by the principles of the social model of disability; where inclusion and participation is determined by how well particular environments accommodate individual needs, the collective will construct their own dynamic world. An improvised interaction between Aha Ensemble and audience members will create a documented dialogue where hierarchies are upended, limits are undermined, power dynamics reversed, and assumptions playfully undone and captured in a multi-sensory installation.

Aha Ensemble is the recipient of the 2022 Jeremy Hynes Award, made possible through a bequest from the family of artist Jeremy Hynes.

During the performance activations of Absolutely Everybody Judges, the exhibition will not be open to the public. You can book into an activation on Friday 9 September, Saturday 10 September, Saturday 17 September, or Saturday 1 October here.
