Thank you for joining us for the Portraits and Portals art premiere on August 27th 2025! With over 250 registrations, the event was a tremendous success, featuring an extraordinary showcase filled with heart, depth, and meaningful conversation. We are deeply grateful to each of you for sharing your time and space with us, experiencing the powerful artworks that reflect the lived experiences of disabled disaster survivors of color and disabled artists of color. Your presence helped make this celebration of creativity, resilience, and storytelling truly unforgettable.
In the weeks ahead we will follow up with an accessible recording of today's premiere. In the meantime, please join us in exploring and sharing the Portraits and Portals Website!
On the website you will find more information about each work of art, the artists and storytellers behind them, and more!
Please join us in contributing to our collective access efforts by offering a poetic or creative image description to the visual works of art, located at the bottom of the artists pages (Johnnie Jae, Tyree Brown, Yaneris González Gomez, Fred Beam, Open Doors Poets: El and Var, and Sarah Young Bear-Brown).
Below are some additional ways you can engage with Portraits and Portals such as supporting the work as a Sponsor and/or signing up to host an exhibit.
