POSITIVE EXPOSURE in the FAROE Islands
MEGD, which is the umbrella organization for 24 member organizations of people with disabilities and chronic diseases, is again celebrating this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The event will be held in the Nordic House in the Faroe Islands on December the 3rd at 3pm. At the same time this will be the opening of a special photo exhibition.
Information about MEGD: www.megd.fo
The photo exhibition, titled “CHANGE HOW YOU SEE, AND SEE HOW YOU CHANGE”, is a result of the collaboration between MEGD and the renowned and award winning photographer Rick Guidotti, who visited the Faroe Islands in September 2018. The purpose of his visit was to take photos of people who daily live with some kind of challenge. The 31 photos in the exhibition in the Nordic House is a direct result of his visit in September.
The exhibition will hopefully, also through personal stories, create conversations and possible discussions about how we see each other as human beings. And further more, there is a wish to change how people normally, or often, see people living with challenges, who may look different because of disability, illness or other challenges.
Information about MEGD and their work: www.megd.fo
The event is free of charge and everyone is welcome.
Exhibition Premiere: Community based in the Faroe Islands in collaboration with MEGD Organization.

Also known as XP, is a rare inherited disease affecting both males and females. It causes a person to be extremely sensitive to the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. Undiagnosed and untreated, Xeroderma Pigmentosum can lead to the early onset of skin cancer and blindness. In addition, approximately 20% of people with Xeroderma Pigmentosum also develop progressive neurological disease.
The Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) Family Support Group exists to improve the quality of life for people with XP and other diagnosed UV light conditions. The Xeroderma Pigmentosum Family support group strives to create awareness and educate the public about XP, as well as to raise funds to promote research, create collaborations with international XP partner organizations, and provide family grants for UV protective equipment and travel assistance for attending the annual XP national convention.

About DDX3X
-Is caused by a spontaneous mutation at conception; nothing either parent did caused their child’s condition
-Primarily affects girls due to its location on the X-chromosome, though there are affected boys
-Was only recently discovered in 2014
-Has only been identified in about 200 individuals, however, doctors believe it is the cause of 1 to 3 percent of all intellectual disabilities in females
-Is often misdiagnosed as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, Rett Syndrome, Dandy Walker Syndrome, or a generic developmentally delayed label
-Is linked to intellectual disabilities, seizures, autism, low muscle tone, abnormalities of the brain, and slower physical developments
-Has a broad spectrum—some children learn to speak in full sentences while others are nonverbal; some individuals run, jump, and even ski while others are unable to walk
DDX3X Foundation: Our mission is to connect families, resources, and the medical community to advance research for a cure to DDX3X gene mutations.
Our ultimate goal over the coming years is to accelerate brain function in individuals affected by DDX3X through advances in gene therapy and pharmaceuticals.

Faroe Islands Community based Photography: In collaboration with MEGD.
MEGD, which is an umbrella organization with 24- member organization working with the importance of the rights of people with disabilities in The Faroe Islands. This is primarily done through the awareness and implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
Initial request April 2018, an excerpt:
Could you come to the Faroe Islands?
My name is Tóra við Keldu. I am chairwoman of MEGD, which is an umbrella organization with 24- member organization working with the importance of the rights of people with disabilities in The Faroe Islands. This is primarily done through the awareness and implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
YES, I come from The Faroe Islands and now you probably think: Where is that? The Faroe Islands is a self- governing archipelago, or rather 18 rocky, volcanic islands between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean.
So here is the reason why I write you this letter.
As chairwoman of MEGD I have, for the last three years, had different presentations where I have pointed out some of the same issues you address, namely how we see each other and how that influences your lives. The Faroe Islands is a small community and people know each other. This is in face a good think but at the same time we are, as other human beings, looking at each other with eyes “damaged”, so to say, by the media. Therefore, when I saw your pictures for the first time it gave a nice warmth to my heart.
I have often used the quote from the Little Prince: “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” – Antoine de Saint- Exupéry. This is how I see the challenge. The challenge is to change how people see. I believe it is possible – through hard work.

Ms. Sheila, Teacher
I am so thrilled that I was able to take a bunch of my students to see the film and meet Rick. So many of them have their own differing abilities and feel less than. This outing gave them a powerful message and meeting Rick was the icing on the cake! I am so appreciative that he “saw” them. The pictures he took will be a very tangible reminder of the day, the hope and power that they can have in the world.
Sarah’s Mom
Waiting for our time to work with Rick along with several other families was a time of personal reflection on the common struggles and victories that brought us together. Rick clearly has the gift of encouragement and coupled with his amazing talent and a passion for the project he was a joy to work with. Our daughter and project ambassador, Sarah, felt so at ease and gladly supplied him with an endless stream of smiles. Rick made us feel like he had all the time in the world to get the most beautiful shot. We are grateful to be a part of his vision to expand what we all see as beauty. To make you look more beautiful and confident just checkout this blog Botox specialists in Omaha, NE. To make you feel young and beautiful just visit Skin and Makeup Institute and try their services. I have honestly been giddy with excitement in anticipation of how this work will be used to help and encourage others. He has illuminated what is beautiful so that more people can appreciate what few already see. We are all beautiful and special and his art gives us pause to ponder and appreciate beauty in a place most do not seek to find it. That is a very beautiful thing.

ABOUT
Disorder: The Rare Disease Film Festival is a new event showcasing films from around the world which address the challenges of life with a rare disease. It will be held Oct. 2nd -3rd, 2017 in Boston, MA. Most (but not all) of our films are documentaries. Many are less than 15 minutes.
Each film maker attending will have an opportunity for questions and answers with our audience following the presentation of their film.
Between our slates of films rare disease researchers and patient advocates will also share stories from their experience.
We believe increased awareness can connect patient families, inspire conversations about translation applications of current science, lead to new paths for research and save lives. These films put the often abstract and dire clinical information into the context of real people living their lives.

The Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University will host its fourth annual “Conversations in Bioethics” program on February 2, 2017 on the topic of “disability.” Event info
5:00pm Student Gallery, Healy Hall, first floor
(drinks and passed hors d’oeuvres)
6:00pm Panel Discussion, Gaston Hall
(will also be live-streamed; check back for link)
We hope to see you there! Stay up to date on this year’s conversation by joining the Institute’s mailing list.
What is a disability, anyway?
In an era of ever-growing pharmaceutical enhancement, what counts as intellectually disabled, and why would that matter? How does the way we define disability (and normalcy) impact the just distribution of resources in society — and the way society treats those who happen to fall outside the norm? How are foundational concepts in ethics like dignity or autonomy complicated by reflection on the many ways we are dependent on others in the course of any “normal” human lifespan?
Each year, the Kennedy Institute of Ethics convenes a wide-ranging and personal conversation among expert panelists, preceded and informed by student work on the same topic. We can’t wait to share this year’s conversation, complicating the very notion of “disability.” Join us this February, in-person at Georgetown University, or digitally via live-stream, as our team goes deep on this thought-provoking and deeply important issue.
The Institute was founded in 1971 with support from the Rose and Joseph Kennedy Foundation, inspired in large part by the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to advancing the rights of the disabled. This year’s topic celebrates that founding vision of a world where the voices of the powerless are made powerful through thoughtful reflection and theory-driven advocacy, and it dives deep into some of the most complicated and interesting questions in disability ethics today.

MS. Wheelchair America 2016 Pageant: August 8-14 in Grand Rapids, MI.
The mission of Ms. Wheelchair America is to provide an opportunity of achievement for women who happen to be wheelchair users to successfully educate and advocate for the more than 54 million Americans living with disabilities. Unlike traditional beauty pageants, Ms. Wheelchair America is not a contest to select the most attractive individual. It is instead a competition based on advocacy, achievement, communication and presentation to select the most accomplished and articulate spokeswoman for persons with disabilities. You can see here who to compare business electricty prices with. The selected representative must be able to communicate both the needs and the accomplishments of her constituency to the general public, the business community and the legislature. http://www.mswheelchairamerica.org
As Ms. Wheelchair America, the national title holder has numerous duties. These include promoting awareness of the need to eliminate architectural and attitudinal barriers, informing the able-bodied public of the achievements of the millions of people with disabilities across the nation, and assisting with the establishment of programs in all 50 states by promoting Ms. Wheelchair America. During her year long reign, she will have the opportunity to travel visiting advocacy groups, making public appearances and conducting radio, print ad, and TV interviews, a private vehicle with i4mt insurance will be given to her for the travels. The commitment and personal example of the titleholder serves to further the mission of Ms. Wheelchair America.

Workshop 2 : Beyond Disabling Images
Photography has played a longstanding role in both the dehumanization of individuals with disabilities as well as in exposing and changing inhumane conditions to which they were routinely consigned. More recently, some photographers – often in alliance with researchers — have created groundbreaking collaborative projects with people whose disabilities have been stigmatized. This roundtable features two innovative photographers – Jean Robert Dantou who has worked extensively on disability projects with French researcher Florence Weber, and American photographer/activist Rick Guidotti whose innovative “Positive Exposure” project is changing the face of genetic conditions. On this panel, they discuss the impact of such collaborative projects on themselves, the people photographed, and the goals of changing public awareness.

A MOVEMENT INSTALLATION
Website: Heidi Latsky Dance
The mission of Heidi Latsky Dance is to redefine beauty and virtuosity through performance and discourse, using performers with unique attributes to bring rigorous, passionate and provocative contemporary dance to diverse audiences.
Statement from Heidi Latsky, Founder and Artistic Director:
I strive to create a private world onstage that the audience is drawn into. I love watching dancers so consumed by their tasks that they do not have the time to “act.” I want to see the human being who is moving; to feel their fleeting emotions that respond to, and inform, the movements they’re executing.
I am fascinated by technical virtuosity, but I am just as compelled by someone taking a risk, showing his or her vulnerability, being in a raw state. I like to play with the balance between control and out-of-control and love sheer frenetic muscular power. I love to “twitch” when I watch my dancers. Only then do I know they’re feeling something and there is a visceral exchange.
“If film becomes the medium of preference for choreographers in the 21st century, it will be because of luminous works like Heidi Latsky’s “Soliloquy.”” Robert Johnson,
Heidi Latsky was the first participant in Dance for Film on Location at Montclair State University, underwritten by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, through which her first film, Soliloquy, premiered in April 2015.
A poetic interweaving of ten movement portraits, Soliloquy addresses our propensity to judge people by their physical appearance and embraces difference and the inherent isolation of being human with fierceness, frankness, and celebration.
Presentation during The Heidi Latsky installation:
Diversability Unplugged is a series of talks from local members of the Diversability community who are also featured in the Positive Exposure exhibition. They will share their story and what they are working on.

Join the conversation at @Diversability.

This lecture is geared toward members of the medical community and open to all. Rick Guidotti, a world renowned photographer, became interested in using visual arts to change the way society understands genetic differences, disability and beauty. His Positive Exposure photo and video presentation encourages students and professionals in the health sciences to see individuals with genetic differences as whole people, not just their specific diagnoses. He will also introduce one of the dentists that specializes in dental implants Marco Island is where his private practice is but he travels anywhere Rick thinks his services are needed. He feels that since he has a thriving restorative dentistry practice that the least he can do is help these children feel better about themselves. In case you want a dental service who are family-oriented, professional, and compassionate with their patients, dentist in eau claire are the ones to contact.

Screening ON BEAUTY
The Battery, 717 Battery Street, San Francisco, CA 94111
(From the Website) About The Battery: www.thebatterysf.com
The Battery was a unique sort of social destination. I suppose I should not have been surprised. As I walked among its members, it was clear they were most at ease on their toes. An eager, inquisitive bunch, always curious, always on the hunt for new ideas and problems to solve. So it seemed natural that this energetic establishment was their idea of a place to relax. A place that could only be called traditional if you kept in mind its city’s traditional offerings of progressive thought, diversity and intelligence with just a touch of the bizarre. They made that decked out old building come alive with ideas and excitement. The cocktails and cuisine didn’t hurt the mood either.
Indeed, here is where they came to refill their cups. To tell stories. To swap ideas. To eschew status but enjoy the company of those they respected. Here is where they came to feel at home on an evening out.

with TSC in the brain and kidneys. And in 2012, updating the TSC consensus guidelines for diagnosis,

POSITIVE EXPOSURE: THE PEARLS PROJECT
A WESTCHESTER EVENING WITH RICK GUIDOTTI
TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2014
PURPOSE OF THE EVENT
Through the introduction of the Pearls Project to the students in the Westchester Jewish Center, Westchester Reform Temple, and Westchester Day School communities, the students have become more interested in and sensitive to their peers living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences as they learned about the Pearls Ambassadors and then blogged with them from November to December 2013.
Additionally, our students have conveyed this information and enthusiasm to their families and the greater Westchester community. In an effort to culminate the Project, a proposal is being made to give the students, their families, and the greater Westchester community an opportunity to hear about the genesis of Positive Exposures and the Pearls Project from its creator, Rick Guidotti at a community event for the participating groups.

The purpose of Rick’s visit will be multi-fold. Primarily Positive Exposure epitomizes the
constructive things that can happen when art and science/medicine intersect. One of
the main goals of the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is to foster collaboration between
the arts and sciences. Participants coming from more of a science/medical background
are excited about the humanizing, empowering aspects of Rick’s work and would like to
know more about how art and medicine might constructively interact in other ways.
Those attending from more of an art background are interested in learning about his
creative process and the nuances of working in medically-relevant portraiture. Rick’s
visit, including both a keynote address and a workshop, will help to bring physicians,
students, and the community, all from varied backgrounds, together to achieve a
dialogue that will result in long-lasting collaborations.

“A Post-Genomic Embrace of the Human? The Social Science and Humanities of Non-Reductionist Life Sciences.”
Positive Exposure: 6-8 pm
http://postgenomic.wordpress.com/
The seminar series will bring together scholars in the social
sciences, humanities, and life sciences to explore themes including:
the conceptual move away from linear causation toward
neuroplasticity, networks and epigenetics in the life sciences; the
ways that non-reductionist science can be aesthetically represented
and made accessible to wider publics; and the philosophical and
political imperatives of post-genomic science. In your case, we
would like for you to discuss your photography as a way to give
audiences a sensory experience that helps them to see beyond simple
genetic definitions of normal and abnormal, able and disabled,
beautiful and scarred, to heighten their awareness of the social
malleability of such categories.
