C21 is pleased to announce that the project selected for our inaugural graduate-led public humanities program is Isabella Fincher’s “En-Vision: Toward a Queer Ethics of Slow Care.”
“En-Vision” explores creative practices and embodied experiences of slow care for individuals living with chronic illness and impairments. This initiative hosted an embodied writing workshop blending mindfulness and creative writing to explore themes of slowing down, radical self-care, critical disability studies, and fostering networks of mutual support and caregiving in April 2026. Workshop participants and the broader campus community were invited to submit artwork and creative writing pieces to a collaborative community zine project on a queer ethics of slow care.
