Arts and Disability Forum: Disability as Identity

What does it mean to identify as "disabled"? What about "person with a disability/disabilities"? How does it feel when others ascribe that label to you? What would it mean to claim it?

The Metropolitan Regional Arts Council invites you to join the Arts & Disability Forum: Disability as Identity on Wednesday, February 22nd from 6-7pm. MRAC staff will be joined by three local artists, Atlas O. Phoenix, Jamie Kalakaru-Mava, and Taja Will for a virtual discussion exploring how being disabled informs their art, spaces, community, and care.

This hour-long virtual event is appropriate for arts groups seeking to be more accessible, arts groups serving and/or made up of people with disabilities, and individual artists with disabilities who want to learn strategies from peers to embrace and uplift their own identities.

You may register for the event at any time at bit.ly/ArtsDisabilityForum. You will immediately receive instructions to access the event.
