SUMMARY:PICTURING THE PERSONAL: Photographs by the Josephine Herrick Project
DESCRIPTION:PICTURING THE PERSONAL\n83 Maiden Lane\, 4th Floor\nOn view by appointment through 2025\n Please contact events@positiveexposure.org.\nPicturing the Personal brought people who have faced the challenges of traumatic brain injury to explore visual storytelling together.

She encouraged participants to photograph their personal life and to question what a self-portrait means to them.\nThe Josephine Herrick Project amplifies underrepresented voices through photography\, giving people the tools to see differently\, communicate across cultures\, and advocate for themselves and their communities.\n\nImage Description: On the top left\, in white atop a black background are a logo and text: “JOSEPHINE HERRICK PROJECT”. To the right on the header in black\, gray\, and red text on a white background reads: PICTURING THE PERSONAL Photographic Art Exhibition; Join us!

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Biggest Obstacle
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening: The Biggest Obstacle\nMonday\, December 8\, 6:00-8:30pm\nJoin us for a screening of the 2021 film The Biggest Obstacle. The film will begin at 6:30pm and run for 99 minutes with open captions and audio description. There will be time before and after for viewing the New York Disability Rights Archive introductory exhibit and questions with Associate Producer\, Jessica Murray.\nThe Biggest Obstacle follows the investigations of researcher and disability rights activist Jessica Murray as she examines accessibility in the New York City Transit System over a two year period. From 2018-2020\, she progresses from being a vocal activist to having the ear of MTA leadership. The film features numerous interviews and ride-alongs with people with a variety of disabilities as they discuss and demonstrate their experiences with the transit system and their activism. It also includes documentation of numerous protests and an exclusive interview and ride-along with New York Transit President Andy Byford as he discusses the work he did to improve accessibility and his sudden departure in the middle of restructuring the system just before the COVID-19 virus first hit New York City.\n\n\nImage Description: Film poster depicting an blurry photograph of people waiting for a train. The image is dark and layered with brightly colored lights. The text reads: “The Biggest Obstacle\, a film by Gearóid Dolan.” Three film laurels are depicted at the bottom of the poster\, including “Official Selection Manhattan Film Festival 2021\,” “Winner Award of Merit at the IndieFEST Film Awards 2021\,” and “Official Selection New York City Independent Film Festival 2021.”
