Twórczość artystyczna jako sposób urzeczywistniania paradygmatu emancypacyjnego

The article relates to artistic creation of intellectually disabled people as an example of possible ways for them to reach emancipation.

I have illustrated my hypothesis with some poetry written by two women affected by Down syndrome whose creation is a conscious act of formulating an autonomous artistic message.The article relates to artistic creation of intellectually disabled people as an example of possible means of their emancipation.
