Molly Joyce's program focuses on work that cultivate disability as a creative source, stemming from Joyce's experience acquiring a disability at the age of seven. The works span autobiographical interrogations of acquiring a disability and losing physical movement and sensation, to communally-engaged works featuring the voices and viewpoints of disabled interviewees, to examining common disability tropes such as heroism and inspiration.
