We are inviting you to a free Webinar on July 24, 2020, 2:00pm – 3:00pm in celebration of 42nd National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week 2020.
The Museum will host a Webinar entitled Arts and Disability 20/20: The Value of Expressive Arts to Physical, Social, and Emotional Well Being of Persons with Disability.
Facilitated by Amos V. Manlangit, an artist, educator, and creative professional who completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Fine arts and Master’s Degree in Education at the University of the Philippines. He integrated his training in the fields of arts and education to pursue creativity-based approaches in helping individuals maximize their expression and communication, enhance creativity, manage stress, and nurture their wellbeing.
The event has a three-fold activity that will be run at 90-minutes with the following components:
1. Launch of the Virtual Inclusive Art Exhibit
In 2020, a group of artists with diverse abilities and exceptionalities documented their thoughts and feelings during the initial months of the COVID-19 global pandemic through a series of creative journaling exercises while staying at home. The topics covered a wide range from simple diagrams to elaborate mind maps to help them process their thoughts and feelings as they go through a significant moment in their lives. Creative journaling becomes an opportunity to platform for socialization in an emerging new normal.
2. Online Forum on Arts and Disability
A 60-minute forum and workshop that will provide an overview of the challenges being faced by persons with disabilities during a global pandemic, art’s essential role in physical, social and emotional health, and a presentation of creative facilitation model to guide parent or teacher facilitators towards a more effective creative practice in the new normal. A short workshop will be generated from participants with a simple creative vision of how they can apply the takeaways to their lives.
3. Launch of Community Platform for Inclusive Arts
All attendees will be invited to join a social media group containing valuable resources in arts and disability. This group page seeks to build a community of advocates, practitioners, and active participants in the inclusive arts as a way of growing social equity, diversity, and inclusion across the world.
