“I have been creating artworks for more than 10 years, my practice covering a wide range of disciplines including sculpture, digital artwork, the written word, painting and broadcasting. I have worked with and beside a huge number of disabled artists over that time, most of whom are still invisible to the wider art community. Human First? will showcase a cross section of these artists, showing the diverse ways in which disabled artists practice and interact within the arts in Melbourne.” – Güler Altunbas
