Talk: “The Aesthetic Imprint of Disability”

Thursday, December 11, 2014

7:30–7:30 pm

Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium, 3rd Floor

Disability is an aesthetic and narrative resource that appears as a subject of art, in the making of art, and as an artistic concept. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Professor of English and Co-Director of the Disability Studies Initiative at Emory University, discusses the many ways art and visual culture have shaped the conception of disability, and how the body’s abilities shape artworks, with specific examples ranging from Bruegel to Frida Kahlo.
