His debut book, Are You Borg Now?, was a 2022 Minnesota Book Award Finalist in Creative Nonfiction & Memoir. His performance tonight will be a videopoetics project titled MAAD ISKA DHIMATID?

Alison Bergblom Johnson - Multidisciplinary Artist art is featured in “The Art of Disability Justice Now” and will perform with her emotional support balloon, Walter, at the opening night celebration on July 19th! Her performance draws from storytelling, stand-up comedy, spoken word, and performance art.
Alison is an artist whose work explores disability, identity, and joy. She collaborates with numerous community care and art organizations (some examples: Fresh Eye Gallery, Strike Theater, the Wilder Foundation, Springboard for the Arts, and the Walker Art Center). As part of Mixed Blood Theatre’s 12×12 project she created a theater piece with other people with disabilities about disabled lives. She is a member of the Twin Cities Collage Collective. She speaks about disability justice and the arts. Her collage, storytelling and essays often approach taboo topics (disability, sexuality) in nonthreatening, inclusive ways.
