ABSTRACT
Social movements and activism are considerable points of interest (Beckett, 2006b; Della Porta & Diani, 2015); they provide an opportunity to explore how the premise of disability is articulated from a basis of human and civil rights. The collective organisation of disabled people is well documented in historical and contemporary accounts. Media outlets (Pearson & Trevisan, 2015), art productions (Kuppers, 2014) and academic literature (Shakespeare, 1993; Campbell & Oliver, 1996; Williams-Findlay, 2011) document the trajectories taken by individuals and groups to create solidarity in order to achieve disabled people’s emancipation.
