Art, Disability, and Pediatrics: Applying a Disability Studies Framework

Abstract

The Artist in Residence at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland offers an arts program that is deeply engaged with the field of disability studies. By moving beyond an exclusively medicalized model of disability, hospitalized children and adolescents are situated as experts on their own lived experience. Artists, art therapists, and pediatric healthcare professionals can afford young people more avenues to engage in creative dialogue with topics related to disability arts and culture. These concepts are highlighted through three examples: stop-motion animation, closed-circuit television show, and art exhibitions that feature disabled artists.
