.aaronphilipxo and chellamanart are fighting fearlessly for meaningful representation within disabled communities. Here, they have a candid conversation about what it takes to be the change you want to see.
. But Chella Man’s cochlear implants are broken, rendering him unable to hear. One alternative option suggested by Philip and Man was a phone call conducted with live transcription and ASL interpretation. Another was that they text each other back and forth, but with Philip in a wheelchair, a result of her having cerebral palsy, it’s decided the best course of action is for Philip to send through voice notes and Man to answer questions via email.
Nowhere even close to achieving their goals, below, the pair share what it’s like to grow up feeling excluded and invisible and detail the bravery it takes to be the change you want to see.“I am a 21-year-old deaf, trans, Chinese and Jewish artist from Central Pennsylvania. The challenges I’ve faced are a result of the way our society frames gender, sexuality, disability and race through systematic oppression and binaries. It’s impossible to ‘overcome’ something that’s never ceased to exist.
“In terms of representation, I feel parts of myself represented. Typically, I have to categorize the representation I am looking for. If it is queer, I will go one place. Deaf? Another. This is the reality of living on a continuum. Aaron has been the closest person to mirror my identities in this industry.”“It feels good to be included now, because I was a part of that; being who I am in this industry, my friends being where they are in this industry.
