Rebecca Dosch, Interdisciplinary Education Director

Description

Poet Rebecca Dosch Brown investigates the historical concept of Normal. After meeting artists with disabilities and poring over archives at state hospitals and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, she wrote in response to past atrocities and to honor those who do not fit in the tight box of "Normal." She will share a few poems, including collaborative community-based work and ones based on her own family's experience resisting Normal.
