Description
In order to claim, or reclaim wholeness as disabled people, we must claim our bodies and ways of being. Using examples from disability arts and culture, this session will focus on self-definition and self-representation to explore ways to achieve empowered embodiment that also re-imagines beauty, gender, sexual agency, and connection.
