Installation that makes it possible to inhabit the artistic space away from the unstoppable bipedal flow of consumption and movement. It is organised into three proposals: open, closed and integrated horizontal.

Open: Place-home in which we can publicly interact in a relaxed way, letting ourselves give in to gravity. A home from home. A home created in a normally hostile environment, where we are able to stop, come together and reflect with our defences slightly lowered.

Closed: Refuge-home outside of the general event, exhibition environment while still an integrated part of it, with the idea of creating a stress-free space in which to stop and rest, and which integrates that experienced (at all levels) in line with each individual’s needs: sensory isolation (low lighting, quiet), spaces to rest in a variety of positions and at various heights, a table to draw or write, sensory toys, a wall to post thoughts, etc.

Integrated: A small extension of the open horizontal space set up at different sites around the exhibition spaces to create areas where people can take a break and rest, providing an alternative to moving and standing.

Authors: Hogar Diska, site-specific creative collective for the "Dozing on the accidental provocation" exhibition. This work was developed by Consol Llupià García, Tatiana Antoni Conesa, Silvia M. Limiñana, Eva Iovine and Usu.

HOGAR DISKA was formed as a result of a call posted on a Telegram support group for gay chronic pain sufferers (50 participants). The call, posted by Consol Llupià García, was answered by Tatiana Antoni Conesa, Silvia M. Limiñana, Eva Iovine and Usu and led to us forming a group of five individuals, organised into a core nucleus of two members, Tatiana and Consol, with more occasional participation from Silvia, Eva and Usu, who contribute in a variety of ways, including overseeing and developing the process and proposals, reading, etc.

"Coming together as a group as a result of a call to action has enabled our participation, hacking the fast-paced and exclusive ableist production (as well as artistic) timeframes and creating connections that have breached the inherent atomization of our society and enabled a group of people living with disabilities and chronic pain to join us and believe together".

Consol Llupià García (Barcelona, 1983). “I come from an eclectic mix of ancestors: healers and scientists. My artistic practice is based on taking the question of contextual permeability to the extreme, in a porous dialogue with the experiences that go on in my everyday life, my direct networks: friends, family, non-human animals, my altered and chronically painful body, the space I inhabit and connections with the bizarre. My most recent works include 15% (Barcelona Crea, 2022), El Prat Whale to El Prat (Vibraera, La Capella, Hangar.org and Unzip Arts Visuals, 2018-2020) and Private Views (Wifredo Lam Centre for Contemporary Art in Havana, Institut Ramon Llull and Sala d'Art Jove, 2014-2017), among others".

Tatiana Antoni Conesa (Barcelona, 1985). "My artistic practice is fundamentally based on the intervention and creation of images and texts, seeking to highlight systemic violence and assert my own perspective as a disabled, autistic, non-binary individual living with chronic pain.
"I provide individual and group counselling with a multidisciplinary perspective to include the systemic, the body and art, as well as participating in several support and anti-ableism collective care groups".

Silvia Maestre Limiñana (Agost, 1990). “In my work as an artist, I reflect on the ways in which society continues to impose its binarist, allosexual and ableist vision. My work is a response to my experience as a non-binary autistic person with an invisible disease in a society that constantly reinforces gender binarism, neurotypicality and ableism. My most recent works have included participation in the Public Toilets, Daily Life and Gender video; the exhibition “Multiple identities. II Biennial Visual Arts Contest” at the University of Alicante Museum (MUA) (2021); the exhibition of the Ser Enferma fanzine in the context of the exhibition "Emergencies 3", organized by Fem Art Mostra, Ca la Dona (Barcelona, 2021), and in the "Night of Art" with the video, Who will still be here? (Altea, 2022)".
