Disability Culture And Community Performance by Petra Kuppers

A study of how disabled artists and communities use performance and participatory arts to reshape cultural narratives and build collective identity; it blends theory, case studies, and practical reflection to argue that disability culture offers distinctive aesthetic practices, forms of care, and modes of political engagement. Emphasizing embodiment, accessibility, collaboration, and everyday creativity, the book reframes performance as a community-based, activist practice that contests stigma, expands notions of public space, and models alternative ways of relating and producing meaning.
