This workshop! All the info below is from Lewis and Clark’s description of an upcoming workshop led by Patty Berne with in-person facilitation by Nomy Lamm.

We all have some relationship to what is considered the “normal” or the “non-normative” body, and it’s likely a relationship laced with assumptions, judgement, and unacknowledged power and privilege.

In this workshop, participants will look at the dominant political framing of disability, examine its relationship to gender based oppression and racial oppression, and explore a counter-narrative where all bodies and communities are valued.

The afternoon will be divided into three portions: A three-hour workshop with Patricia Berne via Zoom and in-person facilitator Nomy Lamm; a screening of the documentary Sins Invalid, a disability justice-based performance project centralizing disabled artists of color and queer and gender non-conforming artists with disabilities; and participant Q&A.
