Arts and Disability

Art

• During the fieldwork 2 placement I was placed at Studio 2, a creative space in central Dunedin where people with disabilities are supported to create artworks. During this time I experienced first hand how DOING, BEING, BELONGING and BECOMING are all terms that were relevant to the occupation of art.
