The Exhibit
There
are many ways to tell the story of who we are and where we have been.
The children of Riviera Middle School see a different world than does
the academic historian or the collaborative artist. This multimedia exhibit
weaves together many voices to tell the story of persons with disabilities
in America over the last one hundred years.
The exhibit
includes a collaborative mural, created by artist Xavier Cortada working
with families and children with disabilities. There is a timeline,
written by historians Jeff Brosco and Chris Murchison, and illustrated
by dozens of school children with the help of Lourdes Bravo and other
teachers. There are more pieces of art,
a slide show, some video by Robert Gonzalez
and Louis Lowy, and this web site by Cristina Rojas.
Educators
Paula Lalinde and Martha Sheldon helped with the content, design, and
organization of each portion of the exhibit. The children and families
who collaborated with us-their words
and ideas are the heart of the exhibit and shape the future of the
timeline.
