Disabled & Here

"Disabled and Here" is a project to create free and inclusive stock images celebrating disabled IBPOC folks.

Stock image from the "Disabled and Here" website.

When you think of disability and chronic illness, what images come to mind?

All too often, media portrayals are narrow, one-dimensional, and lack true representation—centring on white children or elderly people, often through the lens of pity or inspiration. The voices and faces of disabled Black, Indigenous, and people of colour are rarely seen or celebrated.

That’s where Disabled And Here comes in.

This disability-led stock image and interview series is a groundbreaking resource, celebrating disabled BIPOC in all their diversity.

The collection features stunning, authentic imagery of people across a range of body types, sexual orientations, gender identities, and diagnoses (or lack thereof).

It’s more than stock photos—it’s a reclamation of our depiction, created by our community, for our community.

Whether you’re looking for visuals for your projects, a teaching tool to spark conversations, or just a moment of joy and affirmation, Disabled And Here offers representation that uplifts and empowers.
