ACCESSIBILITY We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully.

Animator Laura Harrison joins us for a screening of her work—including her latest, The Limits of Vision—as part of the Cartoon Crossroads Columbus Festival!
The Chicago-based Harrison creates films that focus on marginalized characters who exist on the fringes of society. Her work explores the subjects of diaspora, transhumanism, gender, and a loss of touch in an increasingly visual world. Tonight’s program features Harrison’s most recent animation, The Limits of Vision—an adaptation of the Robert Irwin novel of the same name about a London housewife who slowly begins to lose her grip as she goes about her everyday activities. (program approx. 95 mins., video).
Harrison’s work has screened at the New York Film Festival, Ottawa International Animation Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival, and Melbourne International Animation Festival, among others. The artist participates in a Q&A following the program.
