We are so excited to announce our fifth speaker at TEDx Amherst 2021: Maria Guarino

Maria is a teacher and advisor at the Center for New Americans in Northampton, MA. She holds a masters in Hispanic Literature and graduate certificates in Advanced Feminist Studies and Film Studies. Last year, she exhibited a collaborative video essay created with local artists and friends exploring her ElseSpace at the Anchor House Gallery in Northampton, which is now forthcoming in Disability Studies Quarterly.
Maria is particularly interested in the differences and intersections in spaces, and the intervention of the visual- what distinct conversations does a gallery space foster about disability vs. an academic one? Can we utilize images and videos of the body in distress as corporeal interventions, or do they stop at the line of grotesque, shocking, and ultimately counterproductive to a disabled narrative?
