Storyline

Invisible, chronic pain – how do we talk about it?

This is Leonor. At first sight, you wouldn’t say that Leonor suffers from chronic pain on a daily basis. But Leonor has an invisible disability that impacts her life everyday – not just in her ability to do things, but also due to constant pain. How does she navigate her life? How do we talk about pain and disabilities when we can’t see them? And: are there ways to make these visible to the outside world?
