📣 Access Now: Disability/Visibility Free Edu Resources!

[View this email in your browser]( Last year, [Photoville Education]( in partnership with [PhotoWings]( produced a free workshop for educators on the language and movement history of the disability community. Artist, poet, archivist, photographer, facilitator and cultural organizer, [Stephanie Alvarado]( led educators in [craft-making activities]( where they were guided with creative tools to highlight the impact individuals from the disability community have made in social justice movements. Carrie Banks, Supervising Librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library Inclusive Services; Amanda McFee, Director of Arts Programs for the Office of Arts Education District 75 Citywide Programs, NYC Department of Education; Stephanie Garcia, District 75 Alumni; and Rick Guidotti, Founder and CEO of Positive Exposure led a [Community Resource Panel]( to share a wide range of tools, programs and perspectives that can aide educators and students with disabilities. This also supported the development of empathy and intentionality around interactions with individuals with disabilities in a variety of settings. Artist, designer, educator and disability advocate, [Jen White-Johnson]( invited the educators to participate in a [photography zine workshop]( to explore how zine making can be used as a form of political protest in and outside the classroom and disability justice community spaces. Now available, the [Disability/Visibility Resource]( page has been created for you to access any time, any where to bring this experience to your students and communities. EDUCATION RESOURCE GUIDE Created by [Jen White-Johnson]( the [Educator Resource Guide]( combines all of the elements from the educator lab workshop into one in-depth toolbox of resources, panelist takeaways and activities for you to use! Available for you to download and use at any time, this guide serves as another resource to add to your toolbox as you navigate the disability community space. INSIDE THE GUIDE WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES SAY THEIR NAMES The “Say Their Names” activity created a space during the Educator Lab to pay homage to individuals from the disability community that have passed on; it highlighted the role that their work has played in the social justice movements and our collective history. This activity provided a moment of reflection for educators to also pay respect to significant people in their lives. Each name was said aloud with a brief moment to honor that individual. ZINE WORKSHOP Utilizing digital and non-digital tools, participants explore how zine making can be used as a form of political protest in and outside the classroom and disability justice community spaces. Zines can also serve as a powerful tool to amplify the voices of K-12 students from marginalized groups and perspectives. Additionally, zine making is a dynamic way to combat academic ableism and also hold space for the democratic process.
