Juxtapose

A collection of three exhibitions showcasing wearables custom-designed for three individuals, in order to provide viewers with perspective as they become immersed in the personalities of people with disabilities.

This exhibition aims to improve accessibility for and inclusiveness of people with a range of disabilities by providing enabled people with perspective and understanding surrounding disability. The wearables exhibited were designed for three dancers, Krishna, who is blind, Tiffany, who has Jarcho-Levin Syndrome, and Jerron, who has cerebral palsy that affects the left side of his body. The exhibits for these wearables do not directly state their conditions, which gives each one a more mysterious, unique feel. Krishna's wearable is shield because she always wanted to shield and protect people, especially to help them feel comfortable when stepping outside of their comfort zone. Tiffany's is called the sunrise because she has a big, bright personality despite being very short because of her condition. Jerron's wearable is called the Spatial Expander because he always felt like he was put into a "box" by society because he is disabled. He wants to show people that he is capable of doing more than they think he can.
