DisPlace 2016

DisPlace is a series of photographs using taxidermy native animals as a metaphor for the position of disabled people in contemporary Australian society. While the claim is often made that we have an ‘inclusive’ society, the public space disabled people are allowed to inhabit is often a controlled, segregated, restrictive, recreation of a non-disabled experience. When placed in these spaces the disabled individual is often put on display, an object of fascination, akin to a diorama in a museum.


DisPlace questions our relationship with disability, are we creating space for disabled people to equally engage with society or merely reinforcing the idea of disabled people as ‘other’?
