Image Description: A digital graphic design poster for a workshop series titled Engaging the Archive / Writing Disabled Timelines at the ECUAD Library Magazine Area. The background is soft pastel green with abstract pink shapes. The text is in a mix of bold and italicized navy blue fonts, with key phrases highlighted in pink. The first workshop, titled First Workshop, is on Tuesday, March 11th at 3:30 PM. It focuses on writing letters to the past, present, and future. Three guiding questions in italicized pink text ask: What does your past self need to hear? What do you tell the institution today? What do you say to a future disabled student?
The second workshop, titled Second Workshop, is on Tuesday, March 18th at 3:30 PM. It invites disabled, mad, and crip students and alumni to gather and archive their experiences of access and disability at ECUAD. Participants are encouraged to bring written accounts, images, documents, photos, drawings, and media for submission to the library archives and a zine. A note in smaller text reminds attendees to wear a mask, with masks provided. The text “Calling Disabled, Mad, Crip Students and Alumni” falls above the workshop titles.
