SUMMARY:Rewritten Narratives: A Comic Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Rewritten Narratives: A Comic Workshop is for participants who self-identify as disabled and/or chronically ill\, whether the disability is apparent or non-apparent. This could mean anything from physical disabilities\, learning disabilities\, “invisible” disabilities\, and disabilities caused by mental health concerns.  \n\n\n\nLet’s reclaim and rewrite our stories as disabled people through writing and drawing together! Too often disabled individuals have their stories told to them by medical professionals and cultural norms. It’s time to get the power back and tell our own tales! \n\n\n\nIn-person sessions available Tuesdays\, with virtual sessions available Thursdays. \n\n\n\nNo art making skills or experiences required. \n\n\n\nAttendees will receive transportation stipend (PACE vouchers). \n\n\n\n\nSign-Up Form: Rewritten Narratives\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Dates\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Sessions | Tuesdays\, 2-4pm: \n\n10/17\, 10/31\n\n\n\n11/14\, 11/28 \n\n\n\n12/12\n\n\n\n\n\nVirtual Sessions | Thursdays\, 2-4pm:\n\n10/26\n\n\n\n11/9\, 11/30\n\n\n\n12/7\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccess Information\n\n\n\nPress Here is on the 4th floor in the Fine Arts Building.
