Co-organizers: Youree Kim, KANWIN Chicago, Anakbayan at UIC
Sponsored by: IGNITE FUND at 3ARTS, UIC Disability Cultural Center

Gabriela USA is an alliance of progressive grassroots Filipino women’s organizations in the U.S. & an international chapter of GABRIELA. Eloom is a South Korea based feminist organization that supports and centers the survivors of sex trafficking.

Youree Kim is an interdisciplinary artist, activist, and researcher. Their work seeks to navigate the complicated realities of how disabilities are produced, perceived, and represented in the face of critical sociopolitical issues. They approach disability through a liberatory lens where disparate stories are told with dignity and facilitate space for radical imagination. The process involves intricate research on disability history, representation, and narratives in local, national, and global contexts and community engagements to invite broader audiences into conversations ranging from community care to state violence and wars.
