Abstract: | This research aims to increase affirming representation of artists labelled/with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in art galleries in Canada. Using inclusive research, inclusive arts and curatorial dreaming methodologies, findings are organized into themes that illuminate the reasons for the lack of inclusive representation; the role that curators play both in underrepresentation and furthering inclusive representation; whether artists labelled/with IDD want to have their works in mainstream art galleries; and how representation can be done in a respectful way. Methods include one-on-one semi-structured interviews with curators, as well as group discussion and artmaking with artists labelled/with IDD. Finally, the study presents frameworks for moving towards more meaningful representation for artists labelled/with IDD. |
