Mixed Abilities @Nelson A Rockefeller Park - summer 2017
Mixed Abilities Parcon classes is an affinity class for people who identify or have been forced to identify as a person with a disability and allies. These workshops and classes are co-created with people with disabilities in the Parcon community to craft curriculum for all that centers the experiences of people with disabilities.
Location: Nelson A Rockefeller Park: West on Chambers St toward the Hudson, NYC NY
*All Parcon Resilience classes are physically integrated! These classes in the summer of 2017 were particularly centered on the development of affinity and tools for people with disabilities.
Testimony: "As a movement form, Parcon has the capacity to publicly expose and dismantle the limitations that society has imposed on our identities one collective exploration at a time. It's ironic the very bodies which dehumanize us in the eyes of the powerful, also serve as containers of the strength, resilience, ingenuity and creativity we use daily to thrive in environments that are often unjustly restrictive and oppressive." -Colleen Roche
