Pigeonhole

Cheryl Green: Multimedia Artist, Disability Activist

Pigeonhole challenges the stereotypes that disabled people are all white, straight, middle class people in search of a cure for their bodies and minds the way mainstream media would make it seem. Made by from disability community, and centering disabled people as audience, Pigeonhole interrogates the assumptions and biases we hold about disability and embraces all parts of people's identities. We uplift disability culture, celebrate identity, and break out of the narrow pigeonholes people attempt to stuff us in. All episodes have screen reader-accessible pdf full transcripts at whoamitostopit.com.

    Listen to this post (the podcast is at the bottom): I found an old, scrappy video I made of Lavaun a decade ago. She was developing a project to do stories about colors. As an artist with low vision, she never stopped wondering about the best ways to bring a color description to life so […]

    Listen to this post. (The podcast is at the bottom of the post.) I found a cute meme that has screenshots from a movie in which these two young white people are having a conversation on a sunny day outside by some very tall grass. The guy looks either puzzled or flirtatious, then the girl […]

    Listen to this post (podcast is at the bottom of the post): It’s one thing to keep a secret when you feel like you’d be ashamed for anyone else to know this thing about you. But sometimes you keep a story to yourself because you figure no one will get it. Or that they might […]

    Pigeonhole Podcast 39
    Listen to this post: I can’t name stuff! I think back with a big old cringe to some projects and films I’ve tried to name, and I’m so grateful to amazing people like my co-director Cynthia Lopez for intervening when a name was really bad. But right now, I’m so excited to share something that’s […]

    Listen to this post: (podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.) Lately, there’s a growing push to make accessibility more creative, and I think it’s just rad!

    Listen to this post: Built-in accessibility in mainstream software is amazing. It’s nice to not have to purchase new apps or software if you don’t think you’re going to be using the feature long term. I’m writing this right now with Microsoft Word’s dictate feature! But there’s a darker side to this, or rather, Microsoft […]
