about

florence cheval

I practice artistic research & writing while peer-supporting neuroqueer youngsters with chronic conditions.
My pronouns are she/they.

I explore feminist, queer & crip modes writing, publishing, and translating in the field of contemporary arts.

I am currently working on 'support sCRIPtures', a non-linear artistic research on image description as a creative and collective access tool/maintenance practice supported by the FrArt/Fnrs.

Since 2019, Loraine Furter and I develop Intersections of Care, a research project on intersectional feminist modes of display and curating initially supported by FrArt/FNRS and Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles.
'Intersections of Care' was exhibited at Wiels, Brussels, in the context of the Open School of ‘Risquons-Tout’ exhibition (2020-2021).
We also assemble a beautiful collection of 'Guidelines of Care', which keeps evolving and circulating.

'drama' came briefly to existence in 2021 for the launch of Isabel Waidner's novel 'Sterling Karat Gold' at Rile* books, Brussels (@therewillbedrama). It was organized in collaboration with curator, researcher and sociologist Greg Nijs.

I studied with poet Ariana Reines in the context of Invisible College.
I proudly graduated with honors from Warman School.
I am trained in FALC (Facile à Lire et à Comprendre)/plain language and in image description.

I am member of celador, a 'space for doing things with words' located in Brussels, Belgium.


I am grateful to Studio Purple Paw for their visionary online proposals.

On IG, I am @practicesoftrying
