In celebration of Pride Month. ASL interpretation & CART will be provided. Co-Presented by the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability and Third I Film Festival. Image description: Against a forest background are a series of vultures, disembodied wings, and prosthetic wings. In one corner is a painting of Jatayu with one wing; a severed wing of flesh and feather is immediately below the bird. In another corner is a wing made of riveted segments of sheet metal, gleaming in the sun. Near the bottom is a vulture made of metal parts, feathers, and scraps; one bolt-eye turns out towards the viewer. In central focus is a vulture’s head facing away towards the woods. The image is interspersed with a filigree of gold circuitry that encircles the central vulture head.
