Arts

New digital media have opened a creative landscape "where it's not someone else speaking on behalf of the person with the disability - you don't have the teachers or the preachers and the social workers pushing the agenda." Lawrence Carter-Long, a Terre Haute native, is recognized nationally as an authority on media and disability. His perspective on film was informed by his experience curating and co-hosting the Turner Classic Movies festival, The Projected Image: A History of Disability in Film. He was Public Affairs Specialist for the National Council on Disability when he was interviewed in Indianapolis in 2015.
