This article interrogates access through the lens of public autobiographical performances by people living with dementia who, not generally construed as subjects in Western cultures, rarely appear on public stages. This scarcity underscores a strong connection between access and subjectivity, as well as between access, political distributions of visibility and aesthetic practices: all areas insufficiently theorised in access hermeneutics. Deploying one case study, ‘To Whom I May Concern’, a modality operating in virtual and live performance spaces, I expose access issues to do with the autobiographical performance genre along with the opportunities for resistance to power it affords
