Join us for an accessible screening of episodes from the series Renegades.  These 10-minute short films showcase the lives of diverse, lesser-known American historical figures with disabilities, exploring not only their impact on and contributions to U.S. society, but also the concept of disability culture, which honors the uniqueness of disability. 
After there will be a panel discussion followed by a tour through the Oglethorpe Museum of Art's exhibits The Gaze and Feel the Music.

If you have specific accessibility needs, please contact Amanda Densmore at adensmore@gpb.org or call 404-685-2611

The screening will take place in the Turner Lynch Campus Center.  Parking is to the north of the building (see parking information here).  The Turner Lynch Center is building 10.
