February 9 - August 23, 2020

Finnegan Shannon’s work calls attention to ableism, destabilizing it through humour and subtlety.

The Brooklyn-based artist and activist Finnegan Shannon makes compelling work about disability culture and access, often specifically for disabled audiences. Their practice includes drawings, installations, alt-text, performative events and workshops.
