"'Stroke and aphasia are highly complex conditions, and aphasia is among the most challenging disabilities overall. Rehabilitation must be holistic, affecting not only speech but also writing, reading, counting, concentration, attention, and spatial understanding.'"
"'The central argument of the exhibition is that agency, authorship, and voice are not lost with language but transformed.'"
"'The body is presented as territory to be navigated after a neurological crisis. The hands are one of the key areas, as they are directly connected to the brain and cognitive functions.'"
Karolina Wiktor's exhibition, 'Cartography of Motherhood,' showcases her journey through post-stroke aphasia, emphasizing the bond with her daughter. The artist developed a typographic system, Czcionka Braku, from her experiences with incomplete letters during aphasia. The exhibition highlights the complexities of aphasia, which affects various cognitive functions. It presents motherhood as a subject of survival and transformation, asserting that agency and voice persist despite language loss. The spatial design reflects the body as a navigable territory post-neurological crisis, focusing on the hands' connection to cognitive functions.
