Nether Space(s) : Unveiling endometriosis experiences in performance.

This article focuses on the development and public presentation of *Nether Space(s)*, a multidisciplinary performance/exhibition that explores lived experiences of endometriosis—a chronic, incurable disease affecting one in ten individuals assigned female at birth—through embodied artistic practices. Combining movement, kinaesthetic painting, and poetry, the work introduces the concept of "netherness," an original aesthetic and conceptual framework that reimagines the liminal, non-vertical, and alternative temporal/spatial experiences of endometriosis pain and disability. Rooted in feminist disability studies and crip theory, *Nether Space(s)* foregrounds the visibility of gendered pain by integrating personal and collaborative narratives, emphasizing improvisation, embodied agency, and the politics of visibility and invisibility. The project highlights how creative, interdisciplinary methodologies can transform private suffering into public expression, fostering empathy and expanding understandings of chronic pain beyond medicalized definitions.
