Amplifying Stories at the Intersection of Racism, Ableism, and Resilience
Portraits and Portals is an artistic initiative designed to illuminate the profound and often overlooked impacts of disasters and crises on people of color with disabilities. Through creative expression—visual art, poetry, short stories, audio dramas, and music—the project will honor the lived experiences of those navigating emergencies shaped by the dual oppressions of racism and ableism.
