Disability Aesthetics: Challenging Ideas of "Excellence" in Anti-Ableist Arts Learning Spaces

Thursday March 20, 2025 5:30pm - 6:20pm EDT

Kentucky International Convention Center, L017/L018

Drawing on Disability Art and the disability aesthetics framework, this session will invite participants to unpack and reimagine what "excellence" means in art education. We will center disability in reflections on art and teaching, challenge dominant ideals of beauty, and cultivate practices for anti-ableist art teaching.
