Zusammenfassung:People with disabilities can have difficulties with speech; hence art can serve as a tool to express or communicate their inner impulses. [...]erotic works can still be perceived to be created solely for sexual arousal, and their artistic qualities are constantly questionable (Döpp et al., 2012). [...]the meaningful depiction of the human body has been constantly aspired to be represented, a form of diversity of expression, and simultaneously a constant conflictive theme that has been complex for humans. Some of them have found their voice in art, where not only a liberation of desires is contemplated but also a free space where heteronormativity and patriarchal social systems are not usually recurrent as in the neurotypical world. In Outsider Art, it is observed that both male and female represent their inner desires and sexual preferences, leading to thinking about the liberation art can give to this population group.
