Amanda completed her PhD in Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the University of California, San Diego, in spring 2017. Her research focuses on modern and contemporary art; curatorial studies; disability studies; performance, choreography and politics; activist art and museum access; and phenomenology. In September 2019, Cachia will curate Automatisme Ambulatoire: Hysteria, Imitation, Performance, for the Owens Art Gallery at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. In this exhibition, six international artists have been invited to consider how “hysterical” gestures can work to subvert, undo, transform and re-imagine the disabled body and language. This project is being supported by a $178,000 grant from the “New Chapter” fund at the Canada Council for the Arts.
