FÉLIX (he/him)
Félix is a 27-year-old artist who specializes in poetry in an attempt to deliver poignant messages and thus advance the causes of accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities. He completed a multidisciplinary bachelor's degree that encompasses drug addiction, social work, and literature. Premature child at 27 weeks, Félix has cerebral palsy. Through the many challenges and obstacles of his situation, Félix was able to find his voice and turned more and more towards activism, without being afraid to stir the cage of the status quo.
What inspires you most about your practice?
What inspires me in this practice is to remind myself that slowly but surely, it will contribute to breaking down the glass ceiling that standardizes bodies in the worlds of fashion and modeling.
Felix offers conferences, and writes poetry, you can read more about his other work on his website.
