Through partnership with Inclusive Rainbow Voices and community, this project is co-designing a cultural model for social change, grounded in the lived experience of LGBTIQA+ people with disability.
It is designed to build understanding of the lives and rights of LGBTIQA+ people with disability, both within and outside the LGBTIQA+ disability community.
|
"The project is talking about hearing our voices, learning who we are, and teaching others who we are… educating about our identity and rights, and how we want people to support us as LGBTIQA+ people with disability."
- Lex, co-design group member.
