We are inviting disabled artists and arts educators to be guests and guest hosts on ABLE Voices. Today's guest host is Carly "Car" Reigger.

"Carly “Car” Riegger is a chronically ill and disabled artist, writer, curator, and advocate from Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. They utilize porcelain and installation artworks to express inner feelings and narratives of disability. Riegger has organized several important exhibitions for artists with disabilities through the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) including #CripClay in Cincinnati, OH in 2023, and Outpour in Detroit, MI in 2026. Riegger is also the recipient of the 2024 Midwest Artists with Disabilities Award. They hold an MA in Disability Studies from The City University of New York and are currently pursuing an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Both Riegger’s artwork and career goals involve disability inclusion and rights. They are working to expand how the arts communities work with artists with disabilities and how disability communities utilize art to express complex disabled ideas. Today, Car will be speaking to Victoria "V" Walton.

V Walton is a Maryland-based interdisciplinary artist and educator. Walton creates sculpture, installation, and video work centered on Black embodiment and ecology. V draws from her own life: reflecting on the intersection of his identities, their chronic illness-disability, and queerness. Their work illustrates the societal and interpersonal dynamics that build and break us down simultaneously, making multi-layered connections between clay[terra], nature, and the body. They are part time faculty at Maryland Institute College of Art.
