Abstract

‘You’re Just Little’ was a photography exhibition that included a participatory element with contributors from the Dwarfism community, which added another dimension to disability arts through the inclusion of ‘dwarf arts’. The exhibition took place from the 4th-14th October 2018 at the Spectrum Cultural Club in the North East of England. The exhibition coincided with dwarfism awareness month, with the aim to educate society about a particular impairment group which has long been misrepresented. The exhibition revealed the challenges, obstacles and societal assumptions that people with Dwarfism experience on a daily basis (Robson).
