Shoreline’s Office of Special Services (OSS)
and the Library are proud to bring you
Disability History Exhibit
(This week only May 11-15, 2015).
A panel from the Disability History Exhibit on display in the SCC library through Fri., May 15.
The Disability History Exhibit is a 22-panel collage that traces 3,000 years of seldom-told history. From antiquity to the present, the exhibit brings viewers through an illustrated timeline that shows society’s attitudes and how they affect the lives of people with disabilities. Viewers experience powerful feelings as they notice similarities between ancient practices and modern stereotypes. The exhibit is accessible at many levels, striking a balance between easily grasped information and a comprehensive history viewed from multiple angles. The website, with accessible content of the displays, can be found here.
This display was brought to campus by the Library and OSS, which houses Disability Services for Students (SSD). Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We are located in the FOSS Building room 5226, and can be reached via phone at 206-546-4545 or via email at oss@shoreline.edu. We hope you have an opportunity to go see this beautiful, touching and shocking display.
Please send comments or questions about the exhibit to kcook@shoreline.edu. Thank you for your interest in the Disability History Exhibit.
