Los Angeles Spoonie Collective envisions a world where Disabled 2SLGBTQIA+ folks can fully, safely, and meaningfully access community and collective care. LASC advances this vision by offering art fellowships, community-led programming, leadership development, and mutual aid care webs to the Greater Los Angeles area and beyond.
PANEL DISCUSSIONS & WORKSHOPS
Since 2016, we've presented interactive workshops and panel discussions at universities, colleges, community organizations, and businesses throughout the state.
Our work brings a disability justice and kyriarchal (kyriarchy is a term that extends patriarchy to encompass and connect to other structures of oppression and privilege, such as racism, ableism, capitalism, etc.) feminist lens to social justice activism. Informed by our many years of community organizing, we offer nuanced perspectives of resilience and resistance from historically oppressed people.
Our collective members represent a wide breadth of disciplines and possess a range of applicable skills.
From library & information science and microbiology to diverse healing modalities and the arts, we’ve got the background to connect with your audience. Our experience includes public speaking, event planning and facilitation, teaching new skills and concepts, and workshop presentation.
From Disability Justice 101 to intersectional media analysis, our programming is designed to educate, enlighten, and entertain.
All workshops are offered in virtual and in-person formats and can be customized to the needs of your organization. Check out our offerings today!
