Films and documentaries from Brazil, Iran, and the United Kingdom shed light—through powerful personal stories—on the relationship between art and disability. From the journey of a blind artist and activist who challenges society’s own “blindness,” to the moving life story of an Iranian painter who transforms obstacles into creation, as well as the short cinematic narratives that explore issues of identity, expression, sexuality, and collective resilience, the programme highlights art as a space of freedom and empowerment. These stories remind us that artistic practice can become a means of visibility, inclusion, and a deeper understanding of the human experience.
