Title: O artista com deficiência no Brasil
Description: In this work, the story of people with disabilities in the country is told through host organizations and academic research on the relationship between art and disability, also redoing the trajectories of some individuals and their connections with art in the family, at school, in initiatives fostered by the State and in specific artistic groups constituted in these spaces. There is talk of the precarious relationship between art, disability and social inclusion, about spaces of legitimacy for the artist, art and disability, without leaving aside the entities of social inclusion and their tools, especially artistic activities. "Nicole Somera dives with brilliance into the weaving of an understanding that dates back to the beginning of the country's inclusive 'guerrillas' and which is still a fundamental stage for fostering inclusion: the acceptance of the disabled person in this tangle of painting, interpretations, sounds, shapes. In a deliciously critical and attentive way, the author makes a unique contribution so that more energy is given to the observation of social apartments in the spheres where the most democratic coverage and pluralism are expected."
