Third Annual Disability Pride Art Exhibition
In This Together: Joy & Interdependence in Disability Culture
Join us for our THIRD Annual Disability Pride Art Exhibition at Disability Network Washtenaw Monroe Livingston.
In a time of upheaval, of unrest, of daily uncertainty at best, I asked artists to emphasize the jubilance and support they experience as members of the disability community.
Our rebellious JOY, our laughter, our playfulness, our ability to build local and national systems of INTERDEPENDENCE, to seek camaraderie, and truly connect with one another–those choices are defiant, radical, revolutionary.
