Disability Art edit
Disability art refers to the exploration of the disability experience through an art form or content by an individual.[1] Disability art focuses on the expression of the positive identity of disability with the concept of disability art relating to theater, performance, music, literature, and art; which is intended for both, able and disabled. Disability art is developed through themes, support communities and artist who are disabled.
Themes edit
Themes in disability art incorporate with the individual past, and present of how they look at their disadvantages. These disadvantages can be resulted to creating work to better understanding them, to those who do not. The themes that surround disability art are stereotypes, advantages, disadvantages, inclusion, exclusion, physical and mental health. [2]
