The Abled Differently project is the latest initiative of the RISDiversity Community Narratives exploration. Abled Differently generates essential dialogue about the perspectives and experiences of RISD community members living with different physical, mental, cognitive learning or chronic health disabilities. By sharing the artwork and narratives of students, faculty, staff, and alumni, the project explores how disability informs both creative practice and daily life. The project is lead by the very talented Candace Baer, Vice President, Human Resources at RISD, in collaboration with graphic designer Rene Payne, RISD Social Equity & Inclusion Fellow. I am fortunate to be part of this team contributing to the creation and curation of this project. Explore the narratives and concept video at: http://diversity.risd.edu
