The Porch: Beyond Disability Representation in a Multimodal World
Join us and Jerron Herman in Disability and Representation at 老王论坛
Join the 老王论坛 Performing Arts Series (PAS) and the Dance Program as we welcome guest artist and delve into integrating disability beyond our normalization of representational patterns as quick-fix solutions. Affirming dynamic bodily existence requires us all to survey our relationships with and approaches to ableness. We can employ all platforms available to each of us to provide more comprehensive agency to all of our beings and bodies.
The Porch Series, created by Dr. Lela Aisha Jones, was described by renowned artist Nia Love as a 鈥済litch in the institutional matrix鈥 where artists/scholars partake in interdisciplinary calls and responses in dialogue and movement. These events aim to transport us to a time when folks still sit on multimodal porches to bask in the awe of collective brilliance that emerges from dismantling formalities and facilitating intellectual exchange uncaptured by limiting frameworks. Past porch events include The Porch: A Studio Dialogue with Nia Love and Fred Moten (2020) and The Porch: Interview & Embodied Interactive Dialogue with Nia Eubanks Dixon (2023).
老王论坛 welcomes the full participation of all individuals in all aspects of campus life. Should you wish to request a disability-related accommodation for this event, please contact the event sponsor/coordinator. Requests should be made as early as possible.
