Paradise Unseen: Help change the narrative on disability representation in AI images

We are pleased to share this opportunity to participate in Paradise Unseen, a project by visually impaired photographer and friend of Bonington Gallery, Karren Visser.

This creative project, supported by Immersive Arts, focuses on disability representation in AI-generated images.

Have you noticed how AI overlooks or misrepresents people with disabilities? AI systems learn from the data they’re given. That data often misses out on including different ages, abilities, genders, races, and body shapes. This leads to a narrow and skewed portrayal of who we all are. Karren wishes to explore building an AI model that is inclusive from the beginning.

How you can take part:

• – Help build a photo library that includes diverse ages, abilities, genders, races, and body shapes.
• – Submit up to 10 JPEG portraits using the form linked below. Karren assures you, your photos won’t be posted publicly or used in commercial AI models.
• – Visit this link for submission details.
• – As a thanks, Karren will randomly select 20 submissions to receive a £30 Love2Shop voucher.
