We will be exploring how practicing disability justice can create access to and transform disability arts. Throughout this presentation we would like to imagine a future for disabled people, eradicating narratives that depict disability as tragic, unfortunate etc., ensuring that disabled artists and their voices are able to fully participate in the arts community.Bios:
