What does it mean to center disability in arts practice and aesthetics? Opulent Mobility is a vibrant group exhibition that spotlights artists whose works answer this question by reframing and recalibrating conventional approaches to disability and chronic illness. Now in its ninth year and being shown for the first time at USC, Opulent Mobility will include a rich collection of pieces across diverse media including photography, painting, sculpture, mixed media, and video to offer new models of beauty, interdependence, and care.

The opening will include a conversation featuring curators A. Laura Brody and Anthony Tusler with artist Patricia Fortlage, moderated by USC professor Julie Van Dam. They will address the pertinence of disability art practice to disability ethics and aesthetics.

The panel will be accompanied by live ASL translation, and all art descriptions will be available in a Braille booklet.
