SUMMARY:Celebrating Osiris 39: Disability and the History of Science
DESCRIPTION:Columbia University\nFayerweather Hall\, Room 513\n1180 Amsterdam Avenue New York\, NY 10027 \n  \nDisability has been a central—if unacknowledged—force in the history of science and the scientific disciplines. Across historical epistemology and laboratory research\, disability has been “good to think with”: an object of investigation made to yield generalizable truths. Yet disability is rarely imagined to be the source of expertise\, especially the kind of expertise that produces (rational\, neutral\, universal) scientific knowledge. \nJaipreet Virdi\, Mara Mills\, and Sarah F. Rose introduce a disability history of science in the current volume of Osiris\, which they co-edited. Across the volume\, contributors trace the disabling impacts of scientific theories and practices in the contexts of war\, factory labor\, insurance\, and colonialism; others excavate racial and settler ableism in the history of scientific facts\, protocols\, and collections; still others query the boundaries between scientific\, lay\, and disability expertise. Contending that disability alters method\, the volume’s authors bring new sources and interpretation techniques to the history of science\, overturn familiar narratives\, apply disability analyses to established terms and archives\, and discuss accessibility issues for disabled historians. \nIn this talk\, the three editors emphasize how disability history and the history of science need to be placed in conversation to foreground disability epistemologies\, disabled scientists\, and disability sciencing (engagement with scientific tools and processes). Looking beyond the paradigms of medicalization and industrialization\, the editors further propose a “scientific management model of disability” to account for the shaping of disabled lives and relations by the applied sciences\, from the ancient world to the present. \n\nEvent Speakers: \n\nMara Mills\, Associate Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication at New York University\nSarah F. Rose\, Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas at Arlington\nJaipreet Virdi\, Associate Professor of History at the University of Deleware\n\n\nThis event is part of the New York History of Science Lecture Series.\nCo-sponsored by the NYU Center for Disability Studies.

SUMMARY:Agency of Access: Book Talk with Amanda Cachia
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 13th\, 2025\n4:00PM-5:00PM\nWhitney Museum of American Art\nFloor 8 (Trustee Room) \nWhitney Access programs invite you to the launch of Amanda Cachia’s book\, The Agency of Access: Contemporary Disability Art and Institutional Critique. This event will celebrate the disabled and Deaf artists featured in the book\, including Christine Sun Kim\, and local New York-based artists Park McArthur\, Finnegan Shannon\, and Sughanda Gupta. The book examines how access can be a method to experience arts in a multisensory way. Crip author and art historian Amanda Cachia brings to light how our bodies take in environments in different ways and reveals how equity affects different bodies when access is not considered. Cachia will join a discussion with Whitney Associate Manager of Access Programs and Initiatives\, Bojana Coklyat. After the conversation\, there will be time for questions from the audience and to visit Christine Sun Kim’s exhibition\, All Day All Night. Cachia will also sign copies of the book\, which will be available for purchase. \nThis event will have ASL interpretation.

SUMMARY:Stephen Dwoskin's Face of Our Fear (1992): Reflections on Disability in Film with Rachel Garfield
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening | Stephen Dwoskin’s Face of Our Fear (1992): Reflections on Disability in Film with Rachel Garfield\n  \nThe Jerry H. Labowitz Theatre for the Performing Arts 1 Washington Place NY 10003 \nStarting in the mid-1960s\, Stephen Dwoskin\, a UK-based experimental filmmaker who survived childhood poliomyelitis\, developed a distinct audio-visual style rooted in the specific conditions of (im-)mobility that permeate his cinematography. Simultaneously\, he was strongly preoccupied with the ways narrative cinema uses disability as a symbolic or iconic component. In his essay film Face of our Fear (1991)\, Dwoskin discusses the long history of disability mis-representation in Western art and media\, highlighting the shifting meaning of disability across centuries of evolving cultural traditions. \nThis event features a screening of Dwoskin’s Face of our Fear (52 minutes)\, followed by a discussion and Q&A with Professor Rachel Garfield—a film scholar\, artist\, and close friend and collaborator of the late Stephen Dwoskin. Open captions and CART provided; audio description available upon request. \nTo request an ASL interpreter\, please email o.tchepikova.treon@nyu.edu by January 29. For other access requests or questions\, please contact Gallatin’s Office of Special Events by emailing events.gallatin@nyu.edu\, also by January 29. \nThis event is programmed by Gallatin School of Individualized Study and is co-sponsored by the NYU Center for Disability Studies and the NYU Center for Media\, Culture and History.

SUMMARY:Mourning and Militancy: Bodily Autonomy and Networks of Care
DESCRIPTION:This panel takes its title from Douglas Crimp’s famous 1989 essay written at the height of the AIDS crisis\, which argued for the need for both militant activism and collective mourning. How might our current moment similarly demand an attention to collective grief and care\, organizing and activism?  This conversation brings together artists and activists\, Dean Spade\, Amitis Motevalli\, Yin Q\, and Viva Ruiz\, to consider the aesthetic and political strategies they find most necessary to combat the violent curtailing of bodily autonomy faced by queer/trans communities in particular. \n\n\n\n\nDean Spade has been working to build queer and trans liberation based in racial and economic justice for the past two decades. He’s the author of Normal Life: Administrative Violence\, Critical Trans Politics\, and the Limits of Law\, and Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next) the director of the documentary “Pinkwashing Exposed: Seattle Fights Back!.” His latest book\, Love in a Fucked Up World: How to Build Relationships\, Hook Up and Raise Hell Together\, was published by Algonquin Press in January. \n\nAmitis Motevalli is an artist who explores the cultural resistance and survival of people living in poverty\, conflict\, catastrophe and/or war. Her experiences as a trans-national migrant and in community organizing are foundational in her work and research. Through many media\, digital\, analog\, static and live\, her work juxtaposes and contrasts iconography with iconoclasm\, memorials with monuments\, archive methodologies with canon. Her work intends to ask questions about archiving\, documentation and canonization of histories\, in particular related to violence. In this line of questioning she subverts populism by invoking the significance of a secular grassroots struggle. She is primarily based  in Los Angeles\, exhibiting art internationally as well as organizing to create an active and critical cultural discourse through information exchange\, either in art\, pedagogy with cultural producers and educators. \n\nYin Q (b.1974\, they/she) is a parent\, writer\, media producer\, curator and core organizer with Red Canary Song and founding member of Kink Out. They were honored by Spike Lee as an impact activist in 2019 in his tribute to Jackie Robinson. Yin’s writing has been published in BUST\, Apogee Journal (Columbia University)\, We Too\, Stories of Sex Work and Survival (The Feminist Press at CUNY\, 2021)\, and Afro Asia (Duke University Press\, 2008). Their media work includes “Mercy\, Mistress\,” an autobiographical pilot based on their experience as a dominatrix (starring Daniel K. Issac\, Poppy Liu; EP Margaret Cho)\, and Fly In Power\, a documentary for Red Canary Song and the short video\, Yang Song\, Fly in Power. Yin has brought sex worker art activations to Leslie Lohman Museum\, MoMA PS1 (Resident Artist\, 2020)\, Performance Space New York\, Brown University (AAPI Resident Artist\, 2023)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles. \n\nViva Ruiz is a community/family/nightlife/sex work educated artist\, progeny of factory working Ecuadorian migrants born and raised in Jamaica\, Queens. They are proud to be the “daughter” of beloved Chloe Dzubilo\, punk rock trans femme activist. Ruiz’s original telenovelas and short films have screened internationally at art spaces including the Whitney Museum\, MoMa PS1 and many more. Ruiz has been building power and birthing pro-abortion aesthetics since 2015 with the #thankgodforabortion experiment. Viva is a 2022 Creative Capital grantee and 2022 Art Matters fellow. She is intentional about calling more beautiful worlds into being with and in service to the spirits that walk with them.
