Description
Large (A1) poster, part of a set from the Barbara Lisicki archive. 4 of 7
The poster is cream with an image of a woman sat in a wheelchair, with a small child at the bottom of the chair. Above her, in three orange lines extending vertically from the top of the poster are the words LIBERTY, EQUALITY, DISABILITY. Beneath the photograph is text reading 'IMAGES OF A MOVEMENT' the last two words are highlighted in orange.
Next to the photograph is a quote from the subject of the photograph, Micheline, talking about how relationships give life meaning, and how an inclusive education system should rate friendship as highly as spelling.
This, and the other posters in this collection are part of The Creatures Time Forgot: Photography & The Construction of Disability Imagery by David Hevey, in association with Camerawork Gallery. Funded by the Joseph Rountree Foundation.
