SUMMARY:A Bench for My Favorite Book
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate A Bench for My Favorite Book (2024)\, an art installation created by Finnegan Shannon in collaboration with Wheaton students. The work provides a space for users to experience the photographs of Félix Gonzàlez-Torres via poetic Alt text. Finnegan Shannon is a multidisciplinary artist whose work experiments with access and ableist assumptions. Their project this semester was made possible by Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program\, in conjunction with Beard and Weil Galleries\, as part of the WIIH programming Whose Normal?

SUMMARY:Critical Access Studies
DESCRIPTION:Much of the literature about accessibility seeks to convince architects of the significance of inclusion. However\, the field of Critical Access Studies has emerged in the last 10-15 years to raise additional questions of what counts as access\, who benefits\, and how designers can know. Aimi Hamraie will discuss some of the insights of Critical Access Studies that can better inform the theory and practice of accessible design. \nAimi Hamraie is Associate Professor of Medicine\, Health\, & Society and American Studies at Vanderbilt University\, and director of the Critical Design Lab\, a collaborative of disabled designers\, artists\, and researchers working within a disability culture framework. Hamraie is also the author of Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability. They are a recent appointee to the United States Access Board. \nJoin Zoom Event here. \n\nDesigning for Difference brings innovative design leaders\, thinkers and humanists to campus\, to celebrate the inauguration of Wheaton’s new Design program. Anchored in the History and Theory of Design course\, this spring the WIIH asks students\, staff\, and faculty to challenge the concept of “normal” and reconsider what makes design inclusive.  All events are open to the public. \nPresented by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program.

SUMMARY:Radical Visibility: A Queercrip Dress Reform Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join multidisciplinary artist Sky Cubacub\, who created Rebirth Garments in 2014. Rebirth Garment’s mission is to create gender non-conforming wearables and accessories for people on the full spectrum of gender\, size and ability. The line creates a community where all people can confidently express their individuality and identity. Trans and disabled communities have clothing needs not adequately served by mainstream clothing designers. Instead of being centered on cisgender\, heterosexual\, white\, thin people\, Rebirth Garments focuses on the needs of disabled queer lives\, with an emphasis on radical visibility and joy. \nSky is a non-binary xenogender and disabled Filipinx queer from Chicago. They were named 2018 Chicagoan of the Year by the Chicago Tribune\, a 2019-2020 Kennedy Center Citizen Artist\, and Disability Futures Fellow.

SUMMARY:Designing Motherhood: Curating Inside and Outside of Institutions
DESCRIPTION:Join Michelle Millar Fisher\, co-founder of Designing Motherhood\, to learn about a unique constellation of contemporary artists and designers whose work helps us ponder the political\, economic\, and social implications of how we all relate to reproduction. The project juxtaposes photography with product design\, portraiture with maternity fashion\, and much more\, to create a rich consideration of activism and policy change\, as well as reclaimed joy\, body literacy\, and reproductive agency. \nThe Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births project explores the arc of human reproduction through the lens of art and design. The exhibition\, book\, and associated programs demonstrate the evolution of rights and societal norms pertaining to con(tra)ception\, pregnancy\, birth\, and postpartum experiences over the last 150 years\, highlighting that birth—and the material culture that surrounds it—impacts every living person \n\nDesigning for Difference brings innovative design leaders\, thinkers and humanists to campus\, to celebrate the inauguration of Wheaton’s new Design program.

SUMMARY:Cyborg Arms and Robot Caregivers: Design For an Interdependent Future
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we kick off the WIIIH’s Designing for Difference series\, by welcoming our keynote speaker Sara Hendren. Sara is a humanist in tech—an artist\, design researcher\, writer\, and professor at Olin College of Engineering. \nMost people think about prosthetics in a posthuman future: novel tools and materials to augment the body and overcome its limitations. Or we think of inclusive or barrier-free design\, efforts to make the built world accessible to people whose bodies fall outside the range of normal. But what if there’s a deeper invitation hidden in the built environment\, clues that lie in all its shapes and sizes? Sara Hendren walks us through products\, furniture\, buildings\, and city streets to locate the desirable forms of assistance that beckon all of us. \nSara’s book\,  What Can A Body Do? How We Meet the Built World explores the places where disability shows up in design at all scales: assistive technology\, furniture\, architecture\, urban planning\, and more. It was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by NPR and won the 2021 Science in Society Journalism book prize. Her art and design works have been exhibited in museums worldwide and are held in the permanent collections at MoMA and the Cooper Hewitt. In 2021-22\, she was Lecturer in Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a fellow in Education Policy at the New America think tank\, where she was researching the future of work for adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities. \n\nDesigning for Difference brings innovative design leaders\, thinkers and humanists to campus\, to celebrate the inauguration of Wheaton’s new Design program. Anchored in the History and Theory of Design course\, this spring the WIIH asks students\, staff\, and faculty to challenge the concept of “normal” and reconsider what makes design inclusive.  All events are open to the public. \nPresented by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program.

SUMMARY:Compassionate Flexibility: An Open Conversation About Syllabi Design
DESCRIPTION:Mental and physical health\, for both students and faculty\, are connected to the workload and intellectual labors we carry as a learning community. Syllabi are ideally designed to provide faculty and students with a roadmap and a clear set of guidelines to foster a productive\, transparent working relationship. As we begin a new semester\, student leaders and WIIH Fellows invite you to an open conversation reflecting on what is fair and equitable when it comes to expectations surrounding coursework. Are there ways we can think past the “either-or” fallacy of compassionate flexibility vs. intellectual rigor? Or of respect for difference vs. respect for the time and labor of others? Can we find more space in our demanding lives to calmly articulate the individual priorities and values that inform all faculty-student conversations throughout the semester? \nAll are welcome. \nPresented by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program.

SUMMARY:Pass the Mic! Create. Curate. Care.
DESCRIPTION:Pass the Mic! Create. Curate. Care.\nArtists\, curators\, scholars\, and art facilitators recognize that cultural initiatives must respond with more agility and alacrity to the realities of inequity\, in all of its forms. How those responses are effectively enacted is a more complex set of questions. This conference will focus on the political potentials of care and compassion as practiced in the arts. Participants will reflect on the differences between hearing and actively listening\, and between speaking with and speaking to\, in a variety of art-centered exchanges.\n\nHow can we amplify inclusive\, polyphonic narratives based on lived experiences\, instead of the perceived authority of academic or fine arts expertise? How might art workers conceive of their role as facilitation for collaborations and conversations about justice taking place outside cultural institutions? Over two online sessions\, we will explore creative\, curatorial and activist projects focused on toppling hierarchies\, empowering BIPOC voices\, reimagining history\, and centering the voices of historically marginalized authors and creators.  Hear more about cultural initiatives locally and internationally—making change now. \nInformation on conference program and participants. \nThis event is being presented virtually via Zoom. \nRegistration for Friday\, 10/22\nRegistration for Saturday\, 10/23\nPlease note: there are separate registration links for each day of the conference. \nThis event is sponsored by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program. \n
