As student artists and curators with disabilities we dream of environments where we can thrive in our practices celebrating the fullness of our identities without compromising our bodies and minds. Here we disrupt a limited perception of disability by highlighting the breadth of our experiences. We celebrate the complexity of who we are, not just as disabled individuals navigating our way through inaccessible systems, but as artists, creators, and thinkers. We recognize the need, and pave the way for, curatorial practices in which our art-work and body-work is valid, valuable, and appreciated for its artistic merit and its innovative qualities.

 

Yes, And… features work from OCAD U students from the Disability Community & Culture Group (DCCG), a space for students to explore and celebrate disability identity through participating in social activities, advocacy, and exhibition opportunities.
