Check out this podcast by Alice Wong’s Disability Visibility Podcast featuring Prof Karen Nakamura and Alex Locus (aka Glamputee) about their experience of being jury members for SuperFest.
Some highlights from the interview:
● Pushing towards representing Disability 201 instead of a basic introduction of what disability is
● Cross-disability solidarity reinforced through the use of community settings
● Moving chairs, so your group is not split up since only 1 companion allowed in accessible areas
Image Description: (LEFT) Alex, an above the knee amputee, poses joyously in a monochromatic light blue outfit and a dark blue bandana around his neck. Balancing on his crutches, he beams looking off into the distance with his dark brown, wavy hair framing his face. (RIGHT) Karen Nakamura, an Asian-American woman with short hair, holding her service dog Momo, a grey and white beagle. The photographs are studio quality.
