N2  - The manner in which the media report on issues related to disability, and, in this context, how the media report on and review art exhibitions created by people with disabilities and/or exhibitions coming from ?Supported Studios?, forms an absolutely critical aspect
of the population?s understanding of our fellow citizens and the art they create. Previous examples of media reporting of art exhibitions facilitated by ?Supported Studios? have often been patronising and stereotyping, and filled with discriminatory language. For example,
referring to an artist who has a physical or intellectual disability, as a ?victim? or a ?sufferer?. Focusing on their disability misses the point; journalists should be focusing on the artwork, the artist?s practice, and
critiquing same.
