Community As Home – Portraits

In 2020 artist Ashanti Fortson and Alice Wong collaborated in a project called Community As Home featuring a series digital portraits centered on the joy, culture, and love of disabled people and how we create communities and homes for one another. We asked participants a number of questions:
- What is the power of finding community?
- Who are your communities and cultural homes?
- How do you find and sustain community?
- What does it mean to belong as a disabled person in society?
- How do you see yourself in relation to the world around you?
- What is the beauty and joy of finding and being with ‘your people’?
You can find all 14 digital portraits by Ashanti Fortson here: https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/community-as-home-portraits/
