Alt Text Selfies

Ever notice how a simple selfie can tell a bigger story? Well, the folks behind 'Alt Text Selfies,' highlighted by Design, are flipping that idea on its head. Instead of just snapping a picture, they're adding a disability lens — making the invisible visible. It’s a way to spotlight accessibility issues in a way that feels personal and relatable. According to Design, this project encourages people to think differently about how images are experienced by everyone, especially those with disabilities. So what does this actually mean for you? It’s about shifting perspective — seeing images not just as pretty pictures but as tools that can exclude or include. And get this — by sharing these selfies with detailed alt text, they’re pushing for a more inclusive digital world. The goal? To make accessibility a natural part of everyday sharing, not an afterthought. In a way, it’s a reminder that small acts — like a selfie — can spark big conversations about how we see and share the world.
