What is Disabled Joy? And how do we create more of it?
Disabled Joy began as a solo artist commission with the Raze Collective.
The commission invited Georgia Bondy to explore joy not as something separate from disability, but as something deeply rooted within it. Not despite disability. Because of it. Through it.
That initial artistic exploration asked a simple but expansive question:
What is disabled joy?
From there, the work grew.
What started inside the studio became conversations, performances, and collective spaces. It evolved into a wider project led through Well Adapt, bringing disabled people together to reflect on pleasure, creativity, resistance, access, community and pride.
But at its core, the question remains unchanged.
Disabled Joy isn’t about ignoring barriers.
It’s about recognising the fullness of disabled life.
It’s about making space for pleasure, softness, celebration and imagination.
For now, we want to return to the beginning.
What does Disabled Joy mean to you?
Where do you experience it?
How do we create more of it together?
We’re sharing a call-out for disabled people to contribute reflections, voice notes and stories as part of the next chapter.
