Flyer for KnoxRoxs: Autistic Joy: A Photozine Retrospective Exhibition
Presented by the Julio Fine Arts Gallery, this exhibition by Jen White-Johnson (she/they) features a collection of zines themed around disability advocacy. White-Johnson is an Afro-Latina, disabled, and neurodivergent art activist, designer, and educator whose visual work explores the intersection of content and caregiving, emphasizing the redesign of ableist visual culture. As an artist-educator with Graves' disease and ADHD, her heart-centered and electric approach to disability advocacy bolsters these movements with invaluable currencies: powerful, dynamic art and media that all at once educate, bridge divergent worlds, and build a future that mirrors her Autistic son’s experience.

The Gallery is excited to pair the important disability justice work that art activist White-Johnson does with the themes of our incoming first years’ Messina Common Text, "Happiness Falls", by Angie Kim.

All Julio Fine Arts Gallery events are free and open to the public.
