Disabilities no bar: Young shutterbugs fight stereotypes through their lens

Disabilities no bar: Young shutterbugs fight stereotypes through their lens

AMMAN — Armed with cameras, four disabled students took on a mission to fight stigmas and break down stereotypes surrounding persons with disabilities through offering the public a glimpse into their day-to-day lives. 

Their efforts culminated into a group art exhibition titled “Through Our Eyes”, which ran at the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts (JNGFA) from March 13 until March 21.

The exhibition is part of a research project conducted by Sarah Benson, a lecturer in inclusive and special needs education at the University of Birmingham Dubai, in collaboration with Mayada Al Natour, an associate professor at the Department of Counselling and Special Education at the University of Jordan.
