SUMMARY:Rewritten Narratives: A Comic Workshop at Access Living

It’s time to get the power back and tell our own tales! \nRewritten Narratives is a workshop for participants who self-identify as disabled and/or chronically ill\, whether the disability is apparent or non-apparent. This could mean anything from physical disabilities\, learning disabilities\, “invisible” disabilities\, and disabilities caused by mental health concerns. \nNo art making skills or experiences required! \nAttendees will receive transportation stipend (PACE vouchers). \nLocation:\nCenter for Mad Culture\n410 South Michigan Avenue\, suite 419\nChicago\, IL 60605 \nIn-person Rewritten Narratives session RSVP Link: https://tinyurl.com/rewrittennarrative \nAccess information:\nPress Here is on the 4th floor in the Fine Arts Building.
