Jane Ursula Harris’s article “Unruly Bodies: Confronting Ableism with Aberrance” will center the work of Jesse Darling, Mae Howard, and Berenice Olmedo. These three artists use the paraphernalia of disability to conjure precarious bodies, confront the myth of autonomy, envision mutual care, and challenge ableist notions of wellness and productivity.
