Bodies of Work logo
Image Description: Bodies of Work logo. On the left side is a vertical orange stripe that has white brushstrokes throughout it. At the top, the white brushstrokes form a circle, and below it are a series of zig-zag brushstrokes that descend towards the bottom. At the bottom of the vertical orange stripe, the white brushstroke changes to an orange brushstroke that underlines "Bodies of Work" in purple lettering.

Bodies of Work is a network of artists and organizations whose art showcases and celebrates the disability experience. From the local to the international, Bodies of Work explores innovative forms of artistic expression, derived from unique bodies and minds. Bodies of Work explores the disability experience, advances the rights of disabled people, and widens society’s understanding of what it means to be human.

Bodies of Work is a consortium of more than 50 of Chicago’s most recognized cultural, academic, healthcare and social service organizations, and are housed in UIC’s Department of Disability and Human Development.

CCUSC group photo
Image description: About 20 CCUSC representatives pose for a group picture. In the front row, some people are seated while others stand behind them; everyone is smiling or laughing, and some people are posing, hugging, and giving a thumbs up. In the background behind the group is a large window, and on either side of it on the light grey walls are bright light fixtures.

The seven Centers for Cultural Understanding and Social Change (CCUSC) at UIC are a collaborative group under the Office of Diversity that aim to make UIC a welcoming and inclusive place for all students, faculty, and staff.
