This Disabled Pride month, our Craftivism & Chat session focused on creating self portraits with a focus on our identities. We experimented with different materials to create our portraits. Swipe for more info on each➡️➡️

Jolanta - different colours and shapes of life. Sometimes you want to fly up and you are not able to. I am in a lot of pain and medicine makes me drowsy. #disabledpride #craft
Nara - As a Brown Disabled Woman, I often feel that I cannot talk about my experiences. My mixed media artwork demonstrates how I feel daily because of my intersectional experiences. The bright colours represent the excitement in life. The darker colours are the feeling of emptiness and loneliness due to societal barriers. The tears and the swirly lines on my face exhibit that I have a lot to say and I’m ready to say it all!
Alan - Exclusion. I feel excluded as I cannot hear what is being said due to my hearing loss so I back away from conversation.
Charlet- This self portrait highlights that the impact of rumination caused by a mental health condition can be chaotic but also colourful.
Nurton - on the shores of dreams. My disability makes swimming like navigating a very deep sea. I am unable to look down the edge as my disability causes me to experience vertigo.
Amelia - I am more than my health condition. When i accept it, joy comes out and I can embrace the things I care about. #disabledpride #craft
