Single Handed: An Investigation Into How Scrapbook-Publications Can Be Used to Communicate Disabled Perspectives.

Abstract

‘Single Handed’ is a practise-led project which investigates how scrapbook-publications can be used to communicate disabled perspectives. Situated in the context of disability culture and disability arts, where disability is used to describe barriers in society for people with impairments, Single Handed explores how scrapbooking techniques can be used to create imagery that shares disabled experiences. I utilise my knowledge and experiences as a disabled person through an autoethnographic approach to address and communicate my story through image-making techniques. This scrapbook-publication aims provide non-disabled people with a better understanding of what it means to be disabled.
