We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting our first in-person TEDx event since 2019 on April 9th from 12:30-5 PM in Furcolo 125! This year’s event theme is 🚀 SPACE 🪐 — focusing on the idea of giving space, taking space, sharing space, and making space 😍 We find this theme to be extremely relevant to the challenges the world is currently facing and we hope to curate ideas that Amherst and the rest of the Pioneer Valley will learn and grow from! At our event you will hear from local innovators, academics, and thinkers who all have BIG ideas to share 🙌 There will also be opportunities for networking and delicious food to enjoy 🤩 Please join us for an inspiring, fun-filled day!

We are so excited to announce our fifth speaker at TEDx Amherst 2021: Maria Guarino

Maria is a teacher and advisor at the Center for New Americans in Northampton, MA. She holds a masters in Hispanic Literature and graduate certificates in Advanced Feminist Studies and Film Studies. Last year, she exhibited a collaborative video essay created with local artists and friends exploring her ElseSpace at the Anchor House Gallery in Northampton, which is now forthcoming in Disability Studies Quarterly.
Maria is particularly interested in the differences and intersections in spaces, and the intervention of the visual- what distinct conversations does a gallery space foster about disability vs. an academic one? Can we utilize images and videos of the body in distress as corporeal interventions, or do they stop at the line of grotesque, shocking, and ultimately counterproductive to a disabled narrative?
