I dont think so. This approach would require fundamentally that the appearance aspect and the doing aspect overlap in a relevant way. But appearance happens in these events and with media present. It doesn't happen in day to day, where for instance people need more wheelchair accesible spaces. I mean people with wheelchairs will definetely notice, but their voices tend to be systematically marginalized
