Disability Art Chats provide a community space for folks who identify as disabled, crip, MAD, and/or C/S/X, and those allied with the principles of disability justice. During this free, 90-minute online program, we use a crip perspective to unearth fresh interpretations of MoMA’s collection and foster friendship through creative discussion. Together, we learn from and about the impact of modern artistry on disabled experiences, and vice versa. Each session focuses on a topic specifically connected to a guest speaker. No specialized understanding of art, art history, or crip theory is required.
Images and descriptions of works to be discussed will be sent to registered participants prior to the programs. Sessions will include verbal description, live captioning, ASL interpretation, and a virtual quiet room. Participants can request any additional accommodations, or let us know how we can best support their full participation in this program by emailing or calling our department.

Artist-provided description: In this video still, a set of hands sort seven pillbox compartments on an embroidered tablecloth. The image is taken from an overhead position with the hands partially obstructing the view of the differently colored compartments. The compartments are yellow, blue, pink, green, and white. They are filled with differently colored pills too. There is a patch of bright sunlight on the tablecloth and there are a few pill bottles barely visible along the edge of the frame. Bright orange pills are held in the palm of one hand.
