Deviant is a collaborative embodiment of collective care, mis/communication, strength and rage in the face of chronic pain and stigma. 

 

In the translation of embodied knowledge that may otherwise be difficult to articulate, audio-visual embodiments of unpredictable, hidden and unheard flows of endometriosis experience inform, mark and interrupt the filmstrips.

​

The film challenges health inequalities that exert power over who is seen and heard, and who is not, who has access to support, and who does not. Endometriosis is highlighted here as a potent example of women's pain being side-lined as 'deviance'.
