Where Language Breaks, We Begin

You're invited to the Disability Publics Lab Discussion Series—an informal, hybrid space to connect, share works-in-progress and engage in conversations around disability, madness, and Deaf studies with the TMU community.

Artwork by jialu pombo.

Art and academia collide for this upcoming talk with jialu pombo, who will be in Toronto this week for TMU's Disability Publics Lab Discussion Series.

jialu will share their artistic and research journey through a selection of references and projects connected to their PhD work.

The presentation explores a transdisciplinary investigation into the ethical intersections between creative processes and care practices. Dissident languages—rooted in gender non-conforming, neurodivergent, and disabled experiences—are brought to the centre as forces that unsettle normative paradigms and open space for critical and plural ways of existing and relating.

Here are the details:

📅 Thursday, July 24th
📍 Toronto Metropolitan University, Disability Publics Lab – SHE Building, Room 576 (99 Gerrard St. E.) and online via Zoom
⏰ 2-3pm ET
