Maya Lane is a medical anthropologist, artist and researcher based between Amsterdam and Madrid. Her work draws on personal experiences of chronic illness together with an interest in the relations between care practices, intimacies and queerness. Through multispecies microbial methodologies, she explores the echoes between planetary health and bodily health with a focus on eating, cooking and digesting practices. She is the founder of the Queer Sanitorium, a roving material creative space that explores queer, multispecies and crip practices of »health« and »wellbeing« through the healing power of collective crafting, eating and feeding. Her work looks to how particular forms of microbial intimacy are created when living with chronic infection, and how these can be used to re-imagine alternative forms of radical care, resistance, queer intimacy and living a »good life«.
