Abstract

Curricular encounters with the work of artists invited to be part of an online and ongoing exhibition, Indigeneity & Disability Justice Art, for the 3rd International Conference on Disability Studies, Art, and Education is the focus of this essay. The authors introduce pedagogical art encounters with the art in the exhibition to engage teachers and learners in the complexity of multiple layers of personal experiences of disability situated within systemic colonialist structures that reinforce ableism and hierarchies of power.
