SeededGround and The Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies are so proud to announce that Portraits & Portals is coming soon!
Portraits & portals is an artistic initiative designed to illustrate the impact of disasters and crises on people of color with disabilities. Disaster experiences will be venerated via visual art, poetry, short stories, audio dramas, music etc.
Slated to start later this summer, the year-long project will pair 6 disabled artists/creatives of color with 6 disaster survivors of color. In doing so, this curated series will portray crisis conditions that emerge at the intersection of racism and ableism. Artists and survivors will be extended the creative freedom to express and amplify life at the epicenter of emergencies. Each artistic piece will serve as a portal; a space for safe passage where the past can be re-membered and the future is re-imagined by disabled bodies, minds, wisdom and dreams.
Are you an artist or disaster survivor of color who would like to participate in this series? Sign up below and we will reach out in coming months with further details.
