Recently, I was honored to join Wendy Crawford and other mobileWOMEN.org
members in viewing the second annual Raw Beauty Project in NYC, the first being
held in 2006 in Miami Florida. Raw Beauty Project NYC consisted of 20 models with various physical disabilities and
was held at the ACA Galleries on September 20, 2014. About 200
people were at the exhibit many of whom use wheelchairs themselves. But the project also brought out family
members, friends and many others who wanted to see what this rare event was about.

Recently,
I watched a short video called "Because Who is Perfect?' of a Swiss Artist who wanted to have people with
visible disabilities model to create mannequins to be displayed in Zurich
department stores. The models lived with
various disabilities such as Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Scoliosis, amputations
and one model was a little person. The
essence of this project was to display these models in their own raw beauty and
create dialog, even if uncomfortable, to begin to challenge how we view the
human body. The outcome showed people
looking on in curious wonder as many had never seen anything like this. But over time with such a project, one hopes
that this can create a new normal that can expand.
