Lifting up The Aesthetic of Our Disabilities

Explore hidden and overt disabilities as a place of pride, creativity and voice. Investigate life experiences and living narratives that have ever made you to feel less than. Move what is inside out to reclaim the beauty in our physicaldiverse, pyschodiverse, neurodiverse selves. We will journal-write, talk and move. Please bring paper and something to write. Drawing tools are good too.
