Not all disabilities are visible. | The Horizontals | TEDxBrum

Being logical is having the ability to understand ourselves so well that we know the things we won’t do, and won’t feel guilty about not doing them. Hear from The Horizontals about what invisible disabilities can teach us all about how we work and live together. Horizontal is an ongoing piece of artistic research lead by artist Suriya Aisha. Horizontal investigates the relationship between invisible disabilities, capitalism and all the awkward bits in between. The project was inspired by Suriya's own experience of living with rare brain condition Chiari Malformation Type 1. THE HORIZONTALS are a group of women and non-binary people who live with invisible health conditions and seek to raise awareness through open conversations, artistic experiments and most importantly sharing pots of hummus. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

All of this really resonates the truth of the world we live in. All of these struggles are so real and true, and really hit home quite hard.

[@bluesusername]

I'm not sure if it counts but I have carpal tunnel syndrome that hasn't gone away for a year. You can't tell when it flares up and my hands are in pain in the middle of class. It's not that serious but it's somewhat stopped me from doing things in fear that if I do them it'll get worse, and actually never go away. I could live with this the way it is now, i could. I just dont want it to get worse
