This thread. I have been a disabled artist since ‘09 and taught and mentored many disabled artists.
Disabled art contains v sophisticated philosophies, far beyond many abled ppl’s understanding, & the assumption that we need AI bc ‘we can’t’ is L-O-L. Also, access aides for artists—humans!—exist.
So good to see a big-up of the Muirs (who appear throughout Fair).
Also, this basically summarises current Translation Studies: "Now tenured academics with hefty grants can bask in the celebrity of Kafka & pass judgment on the near-penniless strivers who first made him known."
Had a day off yesterday for the first time in months. Basque cheesecake was a dream, Hokum was a nightmare (I thought it was really bad). So nice to be away from my desk.
Actually the vast majority of Vehicle is based on government policy here and internationally, in the past/present 👍
One day I'll write something about the inspiration for all the different elements of it (though I'm hoping someone might beat me to it)

To be clear: is art harder for many disabled artists? Less accessible? Yes. But disabled artists from Indian mouth painters to Frieda Kahlo and others have been making art their way for centuries. Their own work. Not work that is a simulacrum of art, reliant on stealing others work.
