Disability Joy is a programming series grounded in disability justice that centers empowerment, community building, and joy as resistance. The series intentionally creates space for celebration, laughter, and connection as powerful acts of care and resistance. By uplifting disabled voices, creativity, and lived experiences, the series challenges dominant narratives that frame disability solely in terms of deficit or hardship. Through engaging, community-centered programming, Disability Joy fosters connection and affirms disability as a source of strength, culture, and resilience while actively resisting ableism and exclusion. Join us for a zine-making workshop with Jennifer White-Johnson, a Black and disabled artist and activist. They will begin the workshop with a discussion of their art-activist practice, followed by a demonstration of how zine-making can be used as a tool for activism. Crafting materials and food provided for participants! Jen White-Johnson is a disabled and neurodivergent artist and designer educator who centers Black disabled joy and futures in her work, informed by a disability justice and a Black feminist disability framework.
