WELCOME > ABOUT DDMAACCanada's disability arts & culture movement has
continually been threatened by arts institutions and charitable organizations that seek to promote disability arts and culture while dismissing its political base. (FUSE Magazine) Dr. Rachel da Silva Gorman, Artistic Director Revolutionary Forms |
VISION: DDMAAC cultivates conduits of cultural affinity, artistic autonomy and disability justice in Canada's Deaf/ Disability/ Mad Arts domain,
and promotes the collective interests of artists whose lived experience of disablement advances artistic and aesthetic non-normativity.

ABOUT DDMAAC > HISTORYDDMAAC is a collective of diverse advocates, from within Stage Left's national network of collaborators. The DDMAAC network is collectively advancing disability justice in the Deaf, Disability & Mad Arts domain and throughout the broader arts ecology.
DDMAAC is the current/ living/ continually evolving manifestation of Stage Left's 20 year history of national, systemic advocacy – originally for the Deaf, Disability & Mad Arts domain. But we've now focused DDMAAC more on those who have been invisiblized within the DDMSTCA domain. While DDMAAC remains inclusive of the DDMSTCA domain's many disparate contributors, we prioritize supports for artists with impairment(s) who advance disability justice and non-normativity in their artistic practices and own advocacy efforts. |
