Wheeling into Water

Sue Austin is a multimedia, performance and installation artist who is causing a stir in the disABILITY community.  She challenges society’s commitment to define someone in a wheelchair as a person who has "lost" something.  Her experience has been very different.  Obtaining her power wheelchair 16 years ago she felt a euphoric sense of freedom as the world opened up to her in a myriad of ways.

Please enjoy watching her piece on TED Talks where she speaks to this exhilarating freedom and shares footage of her exploring the deep blue sea with her underwater wheelchair.
