Carmen Papalia is a nonvisual social practice artist with a degenerative blood disease. He uses organizing strategies and improvisation to address his access to public space, art institutions and visual culture. His work, which takes forms ranging from collaborative performance to public intervention, is a response to the failures that he has experienced in the medical system since childhood. Papalia holds a Bachelor of Arts from Simon Fraser University and a Master of Fine Arts with a focus in Art & Social Practice from Portland State University. In 2020 Papalia was one of 25 artists who received the Sobey Art Award; in 2019 he was a Sobey long list recipient in the West Coast / Yukon region. His work has been featured at institutions such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Tate Liverpool, Wellcome Collection, Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity, Vancouver Art Gallery and Gallery Gachet, among others. He is currently co-writing a Feature-length documentary for Knowledge Network about disability culture and artistry with Vancouver-based filmmaker Carmen Pollard.
Image description: A collaged image featuring a photo of Carmen standing close to the camera to the left of a rocky beach. The background is blurred but a blue daytime sky with wispy clouds can be seen over a choppy ocean. Carmen is an artist with olive coloured skin and black beard and eyebrows. He wears a brown, rimmed hat that looks soft and comfortable, as well as a beige jacket that is the same colour as the rocks in the background. He looks into the camera with a neutral expression. Overlaid in the bottom left corner are two manila envelopes, one with a black symbol of an audio device on its front.
