We come with so many
different shapes, sizes and abilities, yet the world is built as if there’s a
“standard human” whose access and comfort takes precedent over everyone else.
If you’re close enough to that artificial norm, you may not notice all of the
ways in which people can be excluded.
A project called “A Sidewalk
is a Wall” aims to call attention to one major barrier to accessibility: a lack
of sidewalk ramps, particularly in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, where they
can be exceptionally rare. Organized by Brazil-based youth disability justice
movement NGO Movimento SuperAção, the project invites artists to find a
sidewalk without an access ramp and decorate it. Each small work of art bears a
stencil with the movement’s Instagram handle so people can learn more about the
movement and call the city to request more accessibility.
