Zoe Partington is an artist in her own right and created light sculptures featuring slogans which have relevance to disability activism and issues disabled people experience.
The work conveys stories, messages and insights into disabled people’s struggles in a world in where society still excludes us from the mainstream. Disabled people still exist ‘on the edges’ and have to fight for equity. These neon signs convey a snapshot of disability history in a simple format with a powerful message.
