Willing & Able at Sator Projects

I am thrilled to be part of Willing & Able, at Sator Projects on Portland’s Central Eastside. I created about a dozen new works for this group exhibit making space for disability aesthetics in the Pacific Northwest. Here’s more info on the show, and activities throughout the month:

Willing & Able is an art exhibition and community event series showcasing four Portland area artists creating compelling and diverse work within the field of Disability Arts, touching on themes of embodiment, capitalism, culture, and systemic and internalized ableism. This exhibition and project, Co-curated by participating artists Marie Conner and Alexis Neumann, is devised to generate discourse exploring the disabled lived experience while critically engaging the local arts community, made possible with funding from PICA and the Precipice Fund grant.

The collaborative project will open with an exhibition on October 6, with ongoing programming including, a public community building workshop and artist talk series, a public panel discussion led by V Maldonado, a Halloween Party celebrating Disabled Joy, and a makers market open to the community of Disabled Artists.
