Film screening and discussion with Eva Egermann
25. 02. 2026 // 18:00
Bratislava City Gallery // Emil café
Moderated by Zuzana Jakalová
Focusing on the intersections of health, disability, and artistic practice, the program features a film screening and discussion with Austrian artist and researcher Eva Egermann. At its center is the film C-TV (When I Tell You I Like You…) (2023, 30 min), co-directed by Eva Egermann and Cordula Thym.
Set in a fictional television studio that continues broadcasting after catastrophe,
C-TV presents a talk-show format in which guests with disabilities speak about their everyday lives as well as their artistic and political practices. Radical, humorous, and critically reflective, the film imagines a world in which inclusion, agency, and visibility for people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, neurodiversity, and diverse genders are already reality.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Eva Egermann on discrimination and prejudice against disabled people, on ableism in general and within the art world, as well as on anti-ableist artistic practices and institutional modes of inclusion.
Eva Egermann’s practice moves between art, research, and activism, using experimental formats to question normative ideas of ability and participation.
