Brothers Sick is the sibling collaboration of New York–based artists Ezra and Noah Benus, whose activities centre on disability justice, illness, and care. Drawing on lived experience—disability, queerness, chronic illness and pain, Jewish upbringing—their work often contrasts image and text. They utilize their own text compositions with photos, footage, and medical files from the Benus’s personal archive that document their care routines to create powerful contemplations of how we understand the body as healthy or ill. They integrate reflections on histories and legacies of activism, illness, eugenics, otherness, Jewishness, and spirituality with the contemporary, ongoing struggles of marginalized and sick/disabled people.
