Able in CU wouldn’t have been possible without all the community support. I am forever grateful 🥰
A new exhibition opening this week is putting people with disabilities in the spotlight.
“Able in CU” is a project featuring eight charcoal portraits including two self-portraits and six individual portraits by artist Shauri Gonzalez. She said her goal was to celebrate the resilience of people with disabilities.
“Instead of it being a project describing everybody’s struggles, it’s actually describing everybody’s successes and how they keep moving forward within the community, even with disabilities,” Gonzalez explained.
She said she partnered with the Developmental Services Center to find volunteers with a range of disabilities and then interviewed each volunteer to understand how they see themselves and their disability.
