You’re an Inspiration:
Moving beyond teachable moment narratives in art featuring disabled artists
February 8 at 5:30pm
in the ATB Financial Arts Barns Lobby
Featuring Kristi Hansen, Carly Neis, and Alison Neuman
It is often heard that someone who lives life with a disability is an “inspiration” or that they are somehow exceptional for simply existing. This panel, led by Kristi Hansen of Azimuth Theatre, Alison Neuman, choreographer of The Strike, and Carly Neis, playwright of Tune to A, seeks to explore the notion and the ways that art created by and about disabled life can be seen beyond personal philosophical enrichment for able-bodied audiences.
