Intersectionality Series: Chella Man: Film Screening and Talk Back

A New York-based artist, director, and author, Chella Man’s work features the continuums of disability, race, gender, and sexuality. His identity includes being Deaf, trans, Jewish, and Chinese as well as determined, curious, and hopeful. In his most recent short film, The Device That Turned Me Into A Cyborg Was Born The Same Year I Was, Chella navigates the duality of being Deaf and Queer. Join us for a screening of the short film and a talk back with Chella himself.

This event is part of the Intersectionality Series, an engaging new series sponsored by Georgetown’s Athletic Department and Office of Student Equity and Inclusion, including Center for Multicultural Equity and Access, Disability Cultural Initiative, LGBTQ Resource Center, and Women’s Center. The series seeks to create an ongoing dialogue on campus about intersectionality as an embodied ethos and practice, by amplifying artists, scholars, practitioners, and activists with relevant lived experience and expertise. Throughout the series, we hope to cultivate an inclusive, accessible community invested in collective care and flourishing.

This event is wheelchair accessible and ASL interpreted. Please contact womenscenter@georgetown.edu for any accessibility requests.
