Résumé

Les artistes et étudiantes diplômées Sydney Erlikh, Maggie Bridger et Sandie Yi ont assisté à VIBE : Défier le capacitisme et l’audisme à travers les arts et réfléchissent à leurs expériences. Les trois ont été frappées par la diversité et l’éventail des expériences qui se reflétaient dans le travail des artistes présent·es. Chaque auteure mène l’un des trois thèmes qu’elles ont définis collectivement : qu’est-ce qui constitue l’art du handicap, comment la communauté façonne la pratique artistique et universitaire et comment les limites du domaine évoluent. L’article explore les façons dont les artistes handicapé·es définissent les processus de création et les approches esthétiques en dehors du monde de l’art traditionnel et ses exigences de productivité capacitistes. Elles prennent également note de la façon dont les artistes ayant un handicap non apparent contribuent activement à amener le champ dans de nouvelles directions. Enfin, elles examinent les dimensions éthiques de la « propriété » artistique dans la collaboration entre artistes handicapé·es et non handicapé·es, en particulier entre les personnes qui ont une déficience intellectuelle et leurs allié·es. Les auteurs offrent finalement une description d’une nouvelle vague d’art du handicap qui pousse le champ à réfléchir aux questions de processus, de collaboration, d’éthique, de visibilité, de savoir créatif et de relation avec les études sur le handicap. Ce nouveau travail, soutiennent-elles, crée un espace pour une pratique communautaire plus durable.

Chun-shan Yi, Disability Culture Activism Lab (DCAL) at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC)

Sandie Yi is an assistant professor in the department of art therapy and counseling and

the program director of Disability Culture Activism Lab (DCAL) at the School of the Art

Institute of Chicago (SAIC). She has a MA in art therapy from SAIC, and MFA from the

University of California Berkeley. She is a disabled artist and disability culture worker

whose work focuses on wearable art made for and with self-identified disabled people.

As a part of the Disability Art Movement, Yi’s art, Crip Couture explores the issue of

their wearers call for a recognition of disability as an aesthetic choice and suggest the

possibility for a new genre of wearable art, Disability Fashion.
