Virtual Mental Health Monday: Spotlight on Jessica Blinkhorn and Victoria Dugger

Discover how disability drives creative innovation in this compelling discussion with interdisciplinary artist Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn and visual artist Victoria Dugger. Blinkhorn, a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow, is an educator and curator whose performance and installation work challenge societal narratives around disability, autonomy and access. Dugger’s work, blending playful compositions with grotesque imagery, reframes imperfection and interdependence, earning critical acclaim in Vogue and ARTnews. Together, they will discuss the challenges of access in creative spaces, art as a catalyst for change, and reshaping traditional aesthetics to prioritize accessibility and welcoming spaces.
