Event Description

In Golem Girl, artist and writer Riva Lehrer recounts growing up with spina bifida, her introduction to Disability Culture, and how becoming a portrait artist transformed the way she viewed her body, her sexuality, and other measures of normal. Known for artwork that focuses on physical identity and the socially challenged body, Lehrer combines magnificent portraits with vivid, cinematic prose, and invites us to stretch ourselves toward a world where bodies flow between all possible forms of what it is to be human. Lehrer is joined in conversation by David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas and Utopia Avenue), who praises Golem Girl as an “unflinching social history of disability over the last six decades; and a hymn to life, love, family, and spirit”.
