In this episode, recorded live at Access Living on August 7th, 2025, Matt Bodett explores the relationship between madness and culture, examining how it has shaped our histories and creative expressions, and how it has been systematically erased from them. Part of Cripping the Galleries, a collaboration with Bodies of Work, Access Living, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and the Art Institute of Chicago, the talk invites us to reconsider what is lost when mad culture is silenced and what can emerge when it is recognized. This is also our first episode with an accompanying video, offering a visual supplement to the conversation.
