They reach into the guts, which are soft and dimpled and made from stuffed knee socks and nylon stockings, and examine the Unidentified Remains that are scattered amongst them. At the centre lies Big Softie’s heart, a red patchwork soft sculpture with tendrils extending outward.](/sites/default/files/styles/hero_slide_mobile/public/2021-07/tangled-hero.jpg?h=3887e563&itok=UuC5gycu)

Tangled Talks hero
In 2021, Tangled Art + Disability and AGO partnered to showcase the possibilities of a world that honours access, disability and difference. We are excited to host videos by six artists from Tangled’s community that showcase their artistic practices in response to the AGO’s collection and building.
Spurred by calls for disability justice and the desire for a more equitable and intersectional future, the disability arts movement is pushing forward with renewed political intention to disrupt conventional understandings of the arts.
The AGO and Tangled Art + Disability teamed up on a series of videos featuring the important work of six artists.
