Flowing and Flown: Transition and the Crafting of Possible Futures
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In this multimodal essay, we share a short film about the experience of growing up as a pediatric heart transplant recipient and reflect on our collaborative project. Our work reveals the tensions associated with coming of age in the interstices of transplantation, disability, and difference, while living with existential uncertainty and the rituals of care that structure daily life. Through filmmaking we seek to build knowledge ecologies: communities for learning and living within the transitory spaces of modern medicine.
