There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.
-Leonard Cohen-

An evening of art and discussion, about cultural analysis and disability studies.

This spring, the University of Amsterdam offered a seminar in Cultural Analysis of Disability. This event will bring some of the discussions that took place during this seminar to the wider public.

We will create a space for discussion and exploration of how disability is represented and constructed through normalizing discourses in all sorts of texts, from films to textbooks to novels and beyond—and the ways in which disabled people and their allies can and do challenge these practices.
