Manifesting Access is an intentionally more accessible (captioned and audio described) collection of short movies that expose truths at the intersection of disability and police terror. From the Sins Invalid Statement Against Police Violence: “Disabled people who are Autistic, who are Deaf, who live with mental health impairments or cognitive impairments, epilepsy or movement disorders, are at highest risk of being assaulted by police, and that is deeply compounded when we are further marginalized by homelessness, transphobia, and white supremacy.”
This screening makes accessible the work of artists and activists including Janetta Johnson, Noémie Serfaty, Akiko Sampson, Kin Folkz, Lisa Ganser, Judy Hanks with Nazeem and Spencer Joles, Tali Jones, Colin Ashante, Leroy Moore & Emmitt Thrower, and Mario Farid. The showcase highlights the life’s work of La Mesha Irizarry, mother of Idriss Stelley, and her legacy of activism.
Discipline: Film/Video
