"Crip/Mad Archive Dances" by Petra Kuppers
EVENTS AT THE CENTER FOR MAD CULTURE
Our events celebrate the creativity, resilience, and history of mad identity. From exhibitions and performances to discussions and workshops, each gathering offers a space to challenge psychiatric oppression, reclaim mad narratives, and build community. Whether you come to witness, create, or connect, our events invite you to engage with madness as culture—alive, radical, and unapologetic.
WORKSHOPS
Our workshops at the Center for Mad Culture offer hands-on spaces for creativity, learning, and connection through a mad lens. Whether exploring art, storytelling, history, or advocacy, each session invites participants to challenge dominant narratives, reclaim mad identity, and engage in collective meaning-making.
No expertise required—just a willingness to think, create, and imagine differently.
APRIL 26th - 1PM
STORY MONSTERS with Cam Collins
For the workshop, we will be creating “Story Robots”, where we take shapes and draw small
narratives or memories inside of them. Narratives and memories can take any sort of shape they want, but put them together, and we get another body.
You will be the creator of this body.
