DOVE181 – Calling Artists to the Front
Today marks the beginning of something that should have existed long ago.
DOVE181 is now live — and with it, the first step toward changing how disability is seen, represented, and understood in everyday spaces.
I am currently seeking artists living with disability to collaborate on an upcoming children’s colouring book.
This project is not about speaking for the community — it is about creating space for artists to speak through their own work, in their own way. Real lives. Real perspectives. Real representation.
The aim is simple, but powerful:
To place disability into the hands of children as something normal, visible, and human — not hidden, not explained away, not reduced.
If you are an artist living with disability, or you know someone whose work deserves to be seen, I invite you to connect.
This is a paid opportunity, and all collaborations will be approached with respect, transparency, and fairness.
This is more than a book.
It’s a shift in who gets to be seen — and who gets to create what the world sees.
You can reach out via DM or through the website https://www.dove181.com.au/
Let’s build something that lasts.
