VISIBILITYtalks is a video series created in collaboration with Philadelphia-area artists on the Disability and Chronic Illness Spectrums. Each month, I met with the groups or individuals, got to know them, and collaborated with them on a video to represent themselves and their art in a way they had full agency over.

As an artist and media maker with chronic illnesses and chronic pain, I want to center the stories of my community who experience chronic pain and disabilities while actively working across the live arts in dance and performance.

I produced, in collaboration with the showcased artists, a video piece highlighting an artist working across disability and performance in the Philadelphia area.  These videos were shot, produced, edited, and fully controlled by myself and the artists at varying degrees, with thINKingDANCE, an online journal dedicated to Philadelphia-based performing arts with whom I have a working relationship, allowing me to use their social media and website to host the project, an online equivalent to a theatre or performance space an artist uses for showings or productions.

This project received a Leeway Foundation Art & Change Grant for $2,500 and a Visibility Impact Fund Grant of $1000
