IN/VALID
Work ID: 67426
Description: Performance and installation, Centre for Women's Studies in Education, OISE, University of Toronto (2006).
IN/VALID brings into question a range of perceptions around what is or is not valid in terms of women's art/research production, the historical perception of woman-as-invalid and being invalid as a person, and of treatments, valued as effective, for women's diseases. The making of this work has been a collaborative exploration of the many recorded and unrecorded statistics, statements, discussions and stories in health care by and for women. Pam Patterson and Leena Raudvee have sifted this material through their own experiences with chronic/critical illnesses and cancer in the health care system. The assumed passivity of women is troubling as are the hidden agendas that fuel this assumption. Their process has been that of scrutiny - and of recovering that which has been discarded, left out, not used or rarely said.

The making of this work has been a collaborative exploration of the many recorded and unrecorded statistics, statements, discussions and stories in health care by and for women. Pam Patterson and Leena Raudvee have sifted this material through their own experiences with chronic/critical illnesses and cancer in the health care system. The assumed passivity of women is troubling as are the hidden agendas that fuel this assumption. Their process has been that of scrutiny - and of recovering that which has been discarded, left out, not used or rarely said.
