He adds that the fellowship is a way of recognizing the challenges faced by members of the Deaf and Disabled communities who are working to overcome ableism, and that it will deepen the impact of his work in the Bay Area arts community — “particularly in advocating for Deaf (and) Disabled folks of many kinds of artists, and promoting inclusivity in dance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956574\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13956574 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/unnamed-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"The TNT Traysikel trio and their three-wheeled vehicle. \" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/unnamed-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/unnamed-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/unnamed-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/unnamed-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/unnamed-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/unnamed-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/unnamed-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The TNT Traysikel trio and their three-wheeled vehicle. \u003ccite>(Alvin Dizon)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mike Arcega of TNT Traysikel says the fellowship feels like validation for the group’s work.
