Come one, come all: Wingspan Dis/Arts, Culture and Public Pedagogy

“Artists and scholars with disabilities are creating authentic images and speaking directly from lived experiences, addressing ideas and subject matter that have never been presented to the public. In both content and form, we are taking risks which only we dare, taking a bite out of entrenched stereotypes of charity, pity, deviancy and criminality.”

~ Professor Leslie G. Roman, International Review of Disability Studies, 2009.
