Women on the Line

Disability Pride is Back


Listen Later

Women on the Line speaks with Larissa McFarlane, activist and artist based in Melbourne about disability pride and it's power against structural systems and attitudes which marginalise people with disability. We'll speak with Larissa about the recent re-installation of the Disability Pride mural which was removed last year by the local council, receiving national media at the time.  We'll hear from Larissa about the ways in which she utilises her practice to engage her community to create safe cultural space, which continues to support the struggle for self-determination of people with disability. The well used statement, “Nothing about us without us”, originated from disabled struggles, a catch cry against systems which decided that they were best placed to make decisions for people with impairments. This show is about a community who are fighting for dignity, human rights, and access to full participation in all forms of society.Image Credit: Ali Buttler
