“A Disabled Artist’s Journey through Art and Activism”

Our very own Wendy Elliott-Vandivier, an artist and long-time disability advocate, will present information on her experiences as an artist and disability activist. As part of her presentation, she will show examples of her cartoons that focus on disability awareness and some of the micro aggressions that disabled people experience as they try to live their ordinary, “un-inspirational” lives. As a member of Or Hadash, she will also talk about some of the ways that synagogues can be welcoming and inclusive for people with disabilities.

Contact is Wendy Elliott-Vandivier.
