This performative intervention launches the Museum’s first collaboration with DisArt, an artist-centered nonprofit committed to cultivating and celebrating Disability Culture. DisArt reshapes perceptions and practices by embracing the rich tapestry of disability history, community, and identity beyond medical diagnosis and legal compliance. Artists and activists tasha dougé, Anna Parisi (LLMA Fellow ‘20), and Luciana Viegas collaborate to engage DisArt's ongoing project and upcoming traveling exhibition, The Art of Disruption: Expressions of Black and Disabled Protest. Together, these artists build on our understanding of disability by considering capacity, debility, and notions of becoming — concepts largely inspired by Jasbir Puar’s book “The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability.” Through a process-based framework and within a call-and-response methodology, this collaboration considers the concept of illegibility. What does it mean to be illegible? What does it mean to be in a constant state of liminality? To be in the wake of darkness? In questioning the embodiment of these terms, this work builds a language of deep grounding and bodily sensibility as a way to map out varied and nuanced ways of being Black, Disabled, and in a state of precarious becoming. The Art of Disruption is an exhibition and a groundbreaking showcase of innovative works by Black and Disabled artists. This collection boldly demonstrates the profound interplay of race and disability, shedding light on parallel histories of activism and advocating for transformative change. This performance takes its cue from I’m a thousand different people– Every one is real, Leslie-Lohman’s current recent acquisitions exhibition, on view March 15–January 5, 2025.
