The Van Every/Smith Galleries at Davidson College will present the first exhibition to address the intersection between disability identity and female identity in RE/FORMATIONS: Disability, Women, and Sculpture. On view from January 16 – February 27, 2009, five female artists, four of whom are disabled, will exhibit sculpture that examines disability not as mental or physical insufficiency limited to a small minority, but as a widespread and diffuse cultural identity, like race or sexual orientation. This is not art as therapy or rehabilitation. It is art emerging from within disability culture that is at once activist and aesthetically innovative.

Excellent post! I don't usually share my last name, even though it's out there for the taking. Then again, I am not about marketing myself. I'm about community, meeting people, learning new things and hopefully sharing a thing or 2 along the way.
