“An “invisible,” “non-visible,” “hidden,” “non-apparent,” or "unseen" disability is any physical, mental, or emotional impairment that goes largely unnoticed. An invisible disability can include, but is not limited to: cognitive impairment and brain injury; the autism spectrum; chronic illnesses like multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and fibromyalgia; d/Deaf and/or hard of hearing; blindness and/or low vision; anxiety, depression, PTSD, and many more. We understand the body as always changing, so disability and chronic illness may be unstable or periodic throughout one’s life.” – Invisible Disability Project

In our first, true open call, we invited artists who identify as invisibly disabled, and/or closely affected allies who wished to reflect on the theme, to submit work for this exhibition aimed at honoring and bringing activated awareness to experiences of invisible disability. The result is a dynamic group exhibition created by 16 artists in different phases of their arts practices. A selection of artists will contribute audio descriptions, and video and/or written personal narratives that delve deeper into their experiences, during the run of the exhibition. We encourage you to visit and re-visit this collection here and in our gallery through the end of Disability Pride Month.
