What is SpankBox?


SpankBox allows people with disabilities to feel sexy! .


SPANKBOX is a photographic installation depicting individuals with varying disabilities from all communities in sexualized, hypersexualized poses and situations. We at SPANKBOX ask that the "for now" non-disabled community evaluate their preconceived notions regarding disability and sexuality.


  • How do you perceive disability and sexuality?

  • What standard do you hold us to?

  • Do you view us as an asexual monolith?

  • Do you see our bodies as objects to commodify and or fetishize?

  • Do you celebrate the disabled body and all of its beauty?


Michelle and Jessica also talk about:


  • Sexual Assault in the Disability Community

  • The importance of inclusion

  • It’s 2023, let’s be accessible
