Disability and Art
Body autonomy refers to the right of individuals to make decisions about their own bodies without external influence or coercion. This concept emphasizes personal agency and control over one's physical self, allowing individuals to determine what happens to their bodies, including medical treatments, personal choices, and expressions of identity. Understanding body autonomy is crucial in recognizing how artists with disabilities often navigate societal perceptions and create works that challenge norms surrounding physicality and identity.
