Ep. 28: Valeria Luiselli; Creative Growth Arts; KOKOKO!
May 2019
Stance explores part of the disability movement within the arts in California. Historically, disabled voices have often been relegated to the sidelines, however in the East Bay, this movement has steadily grown in recognition since the 70s and remains an important part of the area’s social fabric.
Stance speaks with innovative voices such as Leroy F Moore Jr, founder of Krip Hop Nation, a movement that addresses ableism and discrimination against disabled artists in the hip-hop music industry. As well as visiting Creative Growth, an institution which supports artists with disabilities to be recognised in their own right. Some of their artists include Dan Miller and Dwight Mackintosh’s work will be featured at Frieze New York 2019.
