Narrative Acts/Community Action - LIVE ON ZOOM!

Join us for a new narrative medicine virtual series to engage with our alumni, faculty and the global community as we explore through their work ways the humanities and creative arts are an actionable path toward community-centered change and responding to difficult times.

Join us for our next Narrative Acts/Community Action event, where we will be joined by narrative medicine faculty and clinical anthropologist Edgar Rivera Colón, PhD (he/him) and narrative medicine alumnx, muliti-media artist, and chronic illness patient advocate Sal Marx (they/them), who will share their work and experience with the community, including their collaborative narrative and visual art project, Lucid Dreaming Denial. Through self-reflection and processing, advocacy and visibility, and connection with others, we seek to find inspiration in the humanities and creative arts as individual and collective means to help navigate uncertain times.

Narrative Acts/Community Action will be a recurring event hosted by the Division of Narrative Medicine in the Department of Medical Humanities and Ethics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Narrative Acts/Community Actions is supported by live captioning.
