Disability Art: Potential Intersections in Studio Practice With Artists Labeled/With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Abstract

While the intersections of normalization and outsider art have been articulated in studio art therapy practice with people labeled/with IDD, little attention has been given to the intersection of art therapy, artists labeled/with IDD and disability art. As a counter-cultural endeavor rooted in a political movement, disability art offers a distinct and potentially fruitful framework in which art therapists in studio practice with artists labeled/with IDD can advance social justice.
