Virtual Mental Health Monday Disability Arts Festival: Spotlight on Jessica Blinkhorn & Victoria Dugger
Discover how disability drives creative innovation in this compelling discussion with interdisciplinary artist Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn and visual artist Victoria Dugger. Blinkhorn, a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow, is an educator, curator and activist whose performance and installation work challenge societal narratives around disability, autonomy and access. Dugger’s work, blending playful compositions with grotesque imagery, reframes imperfection and interdependence, earning critical acclaim in Vogue and ARTnews. Together, they will discuss the challenges of access in creative spaces, activism through art, and reshaping traditional aesthetics to prioritize accessibility and inclusivity. Part of the UAB Disability Arts Festival.
