“We are working on a collection of alt-text selfies, the image descriptions that accompany selfies and self-portraits posted online. We’ll gather these descriptions from our extended disability communities, showcasing the richness of this writing practice. The project will exist in multiple formats including a chapbook and an online archive. ”
