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.
