Hi Eric,

Thanks for this great announcement! I think we know each other from San
Francisco? I'm pretty sure I remember talking with you at ATA before you
headed to Boulder; it's great to see that you're nearby again! I recently
started a PhD centered on neurodivergence and media art at RPI in Troy, NY.

I wanted to offer my film,* Stitching the Future with Clues
<https://vimeo.com/oillyoowen/stitching>*(single-channel, no password). It
also exits as an expanded cinema piece, which you can get a peek of
here: *Stitching
*live at The Exploratorium
<https://www.youtube.com/live/97AgQYzB_Mw?feature=shared> (2023), with Kit
Young and Amma Ateria, commissioned as part of their yearlong celebration
of 40 years of cinematic programming.

The project
<https://www.fordfoundation.org/about/the-ford-foundation-center-for-social-justice/ford-foundation-gallery/events/indisposable-structures-of-support-after-the-ada-chapter-7/>
was originally commissioned as part of *Indisposable: Structures of Support
After the ADA*
<https://www.fordfoundation.org/about/the-ford-foundation-center-for-social-justice/ford-foundation-gallery/exhibitions/indisposable-structures-of-support-after-the-ada/>,
at The Ford Foundation Gallery (NYC). Scheduled 06-09.2020 (commemorating
the 30th anniversary of the signing of the ADA), the Gallery commissioned
certain artists to create works that were rolled out online through
2021-22. It culminated in *Indisposable:Tactics for Care and Mourning
<https://www.fordfoundation.org/about/the-ford-foundation-center-for-social-justice/ford-foundation-gallery/exhibitions/indisposable-tactics-for-care-and-mourning/>,
*a phenomenal in-person exhibition in 2022.

The script for the film was featured in a likewise phenomenal special issue
of Yale's journal *Theater
<https://read.dukeupress.edu/theater/issue/52/2>.*

Cheers, and thanks!
Allison
