FYI.... Our colleagues from the School of Disability Studies, Ryerson 
University, have organized an outstanding exhibit on Canadian disability 
history which opens for three months at the ROM next week...... 


Out from Under: Disability, History and Things to Remember 
April 17 to July 13, 2008 
Out from Under: Disability, History and Things to Remember explores the 
history of disabled people in Canada. A display of thirteen diverse 
objects reveals a rich and nuanced story that pays tribute to the 
resilience, creativity, and the civic and cultural contributions of 
Canadians with disabilities. 
The first of its kind in Canada, this remarkable exhibition was produced 
in collaboration with students, scholars and alumni from Ryerson 
University. The origin of Out from Under was a special topic seminar 
designed to uncover the hidden history of disability in Canada. Students 
were invited to identify an object representing a particular era or moment 
in Canadian disability history and explore its significance. The result is 
a powerful portrait of a community that is vital, dynamic and proud. Out 
from Under is fully accessible.
