Art is inclusive. Everyone, including disabled people have the same right to create work and be a part of the creative economy. Unfortunately, disabled people are often considered not capable of being a worthy artist or creative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps you don\u2019t know, some of the world greatest artists are disabled, Van Gogh was bipolar, Henri Matisse used a wheelchair, and many others, including the more contemporary such as Yayoi Kusama with her psychosis and Yinka Shonibare who, like Matisse is in a wheelchair. From our Gerakan Kreabilitas we also discovered a few Indonesian disabled artists, we will be presenting their profile throughout this toolkit.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tImagine if you met Matisse, and he proposed a collaboration and you told him no because he is in a wheelchair. Think, that the disabled artist you meet might be a future great artist.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
