Here is how you can contribute to the hub
IDJ would also like to uplift artwork by survivors with disabilities and people with disabilities broadly. The artwork does not need to specifically be about people with disabilities or about violence prevention or survivorship. Publication of artwork may serve 1 of 2 purposes:
- To bring creative awareness to disability justice, violence prevention, and/or survivorship.
- To uplift the creative work of people with disabilities broadly and survivors with disabilities specifically.
Artwork may be visual art, poetry, spoken word performances, music, theatre, or any other creative outlet! For more information about submitting artwork for us to share, check out the Submission Guidelines.
