The collective People Who Stutter Create (PWSC) contends that stuttering (also
called stammering) can create room for deep listening and collaboration. Through
repeated sounds, prolonged sounds, and blocks with no sound, the group aims to
describe social reality while also being able to change it through the act of
description. For its first project, PWSC mobilizes the Whitney’s exhibition
billboard as a place to publicly celebrate the transformational space of
dysfluency, a term that can encompass stuttering/stammering and other
communication differences such as aphasia, Tourette’s, and dysarthria.
