Nothing About Us Without Us

This banner features the powerful slogan Nothing About Us Without Us—a call for self-determination and inclusive justice. With roots in 1505 Polish constitutional law, and later popularized by disability rights activist and author James Charlton, the phrase asserts that no policy should be made without the direct voice and participation of those it impacts. Crafted using reclaimed materials, this piece is a tactile tribute to collective agency and the fight for equity. The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed into law a mere 35 years ago.
