As part of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, NYU Tisch School of the Arts hosted On Display Global: Impact through installations on December 2nd and 3rd in New York City. On Display is an installation by renowned choreographer Heidi Latsky that serves as a deconstructed art exhibit/fashion show - a commentary on the body as spectacle and society’s obsession with body image.

Working in collaboration with Heidi Latsky, NuVu students designed wearables for four of her performers for On Display Global. On Display uses fashion as a tool of social justice aiming to celebrate the beauty of difference. Each performer has a disability and teams of NuVu students worked closely with each of the performers to design individualized wearables that highlight a passion, experience or personality trait.

Morphing Scales by Eli Krieger, Alana Press
Unraveling Tutu by Aidan Geary, Mason Vega
Jerronimo by Acacia Plesch, Ben Cohen, Ariana DeFranc, Grace Cassels
Peter’s Chestplate by Dylan Norris, Joseph Cybul

One of our big partner schools in our NuVuX initiative, All Saints Academy (ASA) in Florida, held its Fall Demo Day this December. Around 230 ASA high school students who are participating in the "NuVu Innovation Studio" lead by our Coaches and ASA Teachers presented their projects to an eager audience. The two hour Demo Day event brought together students, educators, families, and industry leaders from around Florida. Over 90 projects were showcased and spanned new wearables, augmented educational games, aquaponics, prosthetics, and sports products.

The Mighty, an online platform that publises stories of people facing real challenges, including serious health conditions, published a video on our collaboration with Heidi Latsky Dance and On Display Global for the International Day of Persons with Disabilites.

As part of the Juxtapose Studio, NuVu students designed five wearables for choreographer Heidi Latsky and four of her performers. These pieces will be worn as part of ON DISPLAY on Saturday, March 4th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm in the Laurie M. Tisch Gallery at the JCC Manhattan (Amsterdam and 76th).

The event is part of the Reelabilities Film Festival and is free and open to the public.

In collaboration with Heidi Latsky Dance, NuVu students, led by Coaches Rosa Weinberg and Jenny Kinard, created 5 sculptural wearables for Heidi and 4 of her performers for an installation of ON DISPLAY.

"Student artists create striking wearable sculptures to show the beauty in disability"

Mashable featured our students' work from our Juxtapose 2 studio in collaboration with Heidi Latsky Dance.

"NuVu artists were paired with performers from Heidi Latsky Dance in New York City, tasked with creating wearable designs that shine a light on each dancer's strength and resilience.

These designs by NuVu teens are the newest part of an ongoing performance art piece titled On Display, which explores body image and appearance-based judgment. The sculptures debuted in early March as part of the ReelAbilities Film Festival in New York City."
