About this resource

About

The Disability Visibility Project was created to fill a gap: the near-total absence of authentic disability voices in mainstream media and cultural discourse. Founded in partnership with StoryCorps, the project began as an oral history initiative and has expanded into a multifaceted media organisation producing a podcast, anthologies, essays, community visual projects, and educational resources. All content is grounded in disability justice principles and centres intersectionality.

What It Offers

  • Podcast: An active interview series featuring disabled people in conversation about culture, politics, art, disability rights, and daily life
  • Oral history archive: A searchable database of StoryCorps interviews conducted with disabled individuals, organised alphabetically
  • Published anthologies: Multiple books including Disability Visibility (adult and young adult editions), Disability Intimacy, Resistance and Hope, and forthcoming titles
  • Community portraits: The "Community As Home" visual project centring disabled people's lives and spaces
  • ADA 30 In Color: An initiative marking the 30th anniversary of the ADA through a disability of colour lens
  • Blog and essays: Original writing by disabled contributors on a wide range of topics

Who It's For

The Disability Visibility Project is for disabled people seeking community, media representation, and resources — and for anyone wanting to understand disability experience from authentic disabled voices. All digital content is freely accessible.
