PANACEA | JACQUELINE BEAUMONT

Panacea is an exhibition open to the public February 4th-9th at Espace Transmission, that materializes transfeminine vitality through semi-living sculptural artifacts. The exhibition explores how bodies navigate and disrupt medical-industrial control, transforming biopolitical violence into a metabolis of care and transformation.

These forms breathe. Slowly. Neither alive nor dead, they occupy the space political systems refuse to name. The gap between pathology and personhood. Between procedural protocol and clandestine survival.

Medical institutions want clean categories. Diagnosis. Treatment. Resolution. Trans bodies shimmer between these states, impure, holding multiple truths. Glamour and monstrosity aren’t opposites here, they’re evolutionary strategies for survival that keep queer bodies alive when the system decides they shouldn’t exist at all.

We are pleased to welcome you to the opening night on Thursday, February 5th, which will include live musical compositions, sculptural forms, and poetic incantations.

In this septic era, we search for panacea, not an elixir but a practice. A love so permeant and radiant, it clings to the air, metabolizing this poison with every contraction of the heart. Light refuses to be dimmed or snuffed out.

Touch tours are available by appointment (30-45mins). This experience offers sensory exploration of the exhibition through touch, smell, and dialogue with the artist themself. Originally designed primarily for visually impaired audiences, we’re extending this offering to all who seek a deeper, embodied encounter with the work which reveals itself most fully through direct physical engagement allowing the audience to come to grasp with works.
