The Unofficial Discipline
What is the Unofficial Discipline?
Every day over one billion people living with a form of disability compete in an invisible competition against inaccessibility. They fight staircases, broken elevators, and prejudices. In 2024, as the world converges on Paris for the Paralympic Games, we introduce a symbolic 24th discipline: The Unofficial Discipline, made of everyday hurdles that individuals with disabilities encounter every day, shining a spotlight on obstacles invisible to able bodied people.
