Portraits of Persons with Disabilities
a series by Laura Suprenant
“Taking up space as a disabled person is always revolutionary.”
Portraits of Persons with Disabilities is a passion project.
Disability affects over one billion people worldwide, yet our stories often go untold, and our lives go unnoticed. This lack of visibility significantly influences how society perceives persons with disabilities and how persons with disabilities view themselves. By changing these perceptions, we can transform societal attitudes, improve quality of life, and influence policy.
The Portraits of Persons with Disabilities Project is dedicated to reshaping how persons with disabilities are perceived, starting with empowering individuals. Through the art of photography, we capture each person's unique essence with dignity and respect. Before taking their portraits, we conduct brief interviews to better understand their stories. These powerful images and personal narratives are then shared on social media and curated into a gallery collection. The ultimate goal is to foster familiarity and connection between society and persons with disabilities, paving the way for greater societal integration and meaningful change.
