Disability art refers to the exploration of the disability experience through an art form or content by an individual.[1] The art focuses on the expression of the positive identity of disability with the concept of disability art relating to theater, performance, music, literature, and art; which is intended for both: able and disabled. It develops through themes, support communities, and artists who are disabled.
Themes in disability art incorporate with the individual past, and present of how they look at their disadvantages. These disadvantages can be resulted in creating work to better understand them to those who do not. The themes that surround disability art are stereotypes, advantages, disadvantages, inclusion, exclusion, physical and mental health.[2]
