Cultural events roundup

• Commenting on an earlier entry here, artist Riva Lehrer announces an art show on disability that will show at the Chicago Cultural Center in April 2006. She's accepting artist recommendations and inquiries through the end of July 2005 and will be at the SDS (Society for Disability Studies) conference in San Francisco this June. Check here for her contact info and further details.
• Time is short: The Inglis House Poetry Contest deadline is June 1, 2005. One entry category is for poetry specifically about the disability experience, and a second category is for poetry by disabled folk about any topic. Courtesy of DisPoet.
• Superfest, the International Disability Film Festival, is next weekend in Berkeley, California: Film screenings are June 4 and 5, 12:30-5 p.m., at La Pena Cultural Center, 3105 Shattuck Ave. Tickets are $5-$20/day sliding scale and will be sold at the door. A "Meet the Makers" Reception will take place on June 5, 6-7 p.m., followed by an awards ceremony from 7-9 p.m. The reception and awards ceremony are free and open to the public. (One film features the art of Riva Lehrer, btw.)
