Call for Interest! Spring 2026 “Cripping Time Across Realities” Arts Exhibition at Cornell.
Ria Gualano, a PhD Candidate in the Cornell Department of Communication, is organizing an arts exhibition to showcase the art of Cornell students, faculty and staff with disabilities. This will be her second exhibition, following the Spring 2024 “Invisible Aspects of Disability and Neurodiversity” Arts Exhibition. https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/04/art-exhibition-sheds-light-invisible-aspects-disability
The exhibition will spotlight the temporal experiences of disabled and neurodiverse people and calls contributors to create artistic projects that explore “time.”
Interested contributors are welcome to submit art projects across physical, digital and virtual mediums (e.g., sketches, sculptures, 360-degree videos). The broader exhibition will incorporate extended reality (XR) technologies, but individual art submissions are not required to incorporate technology.
This exhibition invites disabled and/or neurodiverse people who would like to create and submit art in any form that responds to this theme. You do not have to have a completed project when you sign up; there will be opt-in workshops throughout the spring semester that will help you to develop and refine your project.
The exhibition is anticipated to open in April 2026.

This project is funded by the Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Innovation Fellowship.
