Brosseau Center for Learning: Disability Visibility: In Conversation with the 2022–2023 KU Common Book
August 16, 2022–October 9, 2022
Gallery 318, The Jack and Lavon Brosseau Center for Learning, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

This installation finds connections between the Museum’s collection and the KU Common Book—Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century. The selections afford opportunities to engage with art in multisensory ways. They also explore what accessibility can mean, and what disability can mean, from sensory and mobility disabilities to mental health and learning disabilities.
