Disability Justice and Art Activism

Disability justice is a framework that centers the experiences of people with disabilities and challenges the systemic oppression that they face. Disability justice activists believe that people with disabilities are not broken or in need of fixing, but rather that society is disabling. They work to create a more inclusive and equitable world for people with disabilities by challenging ableism, the belief that people with disabilities are inferior to people without disabilities.

Art activism is the use of art to promote social change. Art activists use their work to raise awareness of social issues, challenge injustice, and inspire people to take action. Sins Invalid's work is a powerful example of art activism, as it uses performance art to challenge ableism and promote disability justice.
