Troy Lindstrom | #NOT A

Show opening: The #NotA series was created to confront implicit bias targeting people with a disability. As an artist, I want people to view these illustrations and ask themselves. “Is this how I think when interacting with a disabled person? Are my thoughts negative ones such as fear, revulsion, or pity?” Viewers can then recognize the bias that creates those thoughts and confront it internally to change how we are seen. Bias against people with a disability is still accepted, and that must change.
