UAB Arts in Medicine presents From Where I Sit Anthology Release & Talk featuring John Killacky
Attend at AEIVA.
Join us for an exciting evening of conversation, art and, poetry beginning with the book release and readings from a new anthology, From Where I Sit, edited by Salaam Green, Birmingham Poet Laureate and UAB Arts in Medicine Artist in Residence. This collection highlights the voices and artwork of writers with mobility disabilities and contributions from the From Where I Sit performance group.
The evening will continue with Leaving the World of the Temporarily Abled with artist, administrator, advocate, and legislator John Killacky. Killacky will share his personal journey of becoming paraplegic twenty-nine years ago due to complications from spinal cord surgery, and how that experience reshaped his artistic, curatorial, and advocacy work. He’ll also present three of his disability-related films and speak to the ongoing fight against ableism in both the arts and politics.
