‘Dizziness’ is an English translation of the German word ‘Taumel’, which implies a broader semantic field including notions of physical and emotional disequilibrium, staggering, confusion, uncertainty, and turmoil.
A world where all people can enjoy human rights remains an unrealized vision for many. However, we do not need to wait for others to grant us these rights. Instead, we can cultivate personal relationships with our rights and liberties by actively engaging with them through art-based practices.
Vertigo in the City brings together an eclectic mix of scholars, clinicians, practitioners and artists to share perspectives on vertigo. The multidisciplinary conversations explore how sensations of dizziness and disorientation are diagnosed, analysed, evoked, induced, critiqued and represented, with a particular focus on the built environment.
