Tomorrow, artist Dianna Temple presents "Construction of Disability" -- addressing several projects in which she uses photography to question ideas of representation and how our built environment isolates people with disabilities. Photographs of disabled people frequently aim to over-emphasize ordinary experiences or create sympathy to give the viewer the feels without considering the broader social construction of disability that plays into this sort of image-making. Temp...le will discuss this and her personal experience as a caregiver and advocate.
