Anti-ableism in the arts – Part 1: Radical acceptance as a mirror for others

ADVIES, Article, Interview Latest update: Credits: Flanders Arts Institute

Ableism refers to discrimination, marginalisation and stigmatisation of people, for example with a chronic illness or disability. It creates invisible barriers and deep-rooted prejudices about what it is like to live with a disability. Anti-ableistic work is about making those thresholds visible, but also about removing them. At the Posthuis in Brussels, Saartje Cauwenbergh, Fanny Vandesande, Saïd Gharbi, Shervin/e Sheikh Rezaei and An-Josefien Falelavaki gather to talk to Leni Van Goidsenhoven about their experiences in the arts field.

How do they navigate within that field? What helps them do so? What really makes a difference?
