AwesomeCon Panel – Trauma & Neurodiversity Images in Comics
Yes, believe it or not, for once I am actually posting about an event BEFORE I attend/present. This coming weekend is AwesomeCon and I will be on a panel about “Trauma & Neurodiversity Images in Comics.” Although I know the focus is on comics, I hope to at least address the presence and representation of trauma and mental health in the recent spate of television series’ based on comic books; Jessica Jones and Legion come to mind specifically.
Okay, this is actually a bit of a repost (with additions from me) of a 2017 post about Ain Adhari or Adhari Pool, a freshwater spring in the Zinj area of Bahrain. I was thinking about it in reference to how communities congregate around water, particularly in desert regions. There was a lot of reminiscing and I had been hopeful about the changes happening but it looks like history repeats.
The new commitment, which aims to increase documentary programming by, for and about disabled communities, will support the disability history series 'Renegades,' and includes a talent incubator and expanded accessibility features for the PBS programming.
