The artist will develop and use skills for engaging with audiences in a Strange Bodies in Art and Writing tour at the Mia. I'll end the community component by administering a brief survey, polling the participants for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the tour. 2: The artist will gain the skills and knowledge to revise her novel, build cohesion, and identify and address blind spots regarding disability.
