Posterheroes 2023 – Beautifully Diverse

Posterheroes 2023 – Beautifully Diverse invites the creative community to promote a new representation of disability. 

In a world where inequalities are constantly increasing, strengthening cooperation and educating solidarity and empathy to recognize the value and dignity of each individual, regardless of ability or characteristics, is more important than ever. Through collective action, promoting a narrative of disability that is neither positive nor negative but a simple expression of the diversity that characterizes humanity is therefore necessary.

It is time to transcend the normal and embrace the beauty of diversity.
