Who's Who/ Revealing Culture Head On

Tanya Raabe

Tanya Raabe provides an uncompromising challenge to the traditional notion of portraiture through her use of disability aesthetics and visual language. Her portrayal of established disabled cultural Figures, and newly emerging, disabled artists/ who have, and continue to, pioneer disability arts and culture in a society that asserts the ethos of perfection, and traditional beauty, as the norm, is groundbreaking.
