Laura Lulika predominantly works with video, sound and performance as mediums through which themes of care, sexuality, labour, sickness and ritual are explored. As a crip (sick and disabled) artist, Laura is interested in  work outside of common capitalist artworld structures, in liminal spaces that are not controlled by patriarchal oppression. They often collaborate with community groups, their partner and carer Hang Linton, and the Sickness Affinity Group - a collective of artists, researchers and health practitioners, of which the artist is an initiating member.

​

An Ode to Marge (or how I taught myself to speak again by watching the Real Housewives) is an autobiographical work which deals with Laura’s voice-loss due to chronic illness and disability. After losing their voice Lulika received vocal therapy, yet, they found that watching The Real Housewives while housebound is what really helped them regain their voice and agency. The work celebrates The Real Housewives franchise as a rare example in popular culture where women's voices are prioritised, while questioning the privilege these women hold and therefore the healthcare they have access to in comparison to many of the viewers.
