Art + Medicine: Disability, Culture and Creativity is a new episode in the "Art + Medicine" mini series. It aims to destigmatize disabilities through stories, art, and performances.

Artists and healthcare clinicians create alternative perspectives on disability, through disability, stories and performances, and redefine what we perceive as normal. Hosted by artist and storyteller Kevin Kling, Professor Jessica Horvath Williams, PhD, and Doctor Tsegaensh Selameab. Created in collaboration with the Center for the Art of Medicine at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
