For the second year, Portlanders are in­
vited to indulge in some o f the city’s most
delectable restaurant fare and in turn support
important HIV /A ID S-related programs
during the national Dining O u t for Life
event, scheduled for April 29.
Across the city, participating restaurants
will donate 20-30 percent o f the evening’s
profits to both the Ecumenical Ministries
o f Oregon H IV Day Center and the O H SU
Partnership Project. Establishments as far-
ranging as West Café, Por Que No? and
the Egyptian Club have signed on for the
fundraising event, and you’d be hard-pressed
to find an easier way to help, or a more sat­
isfying meal.
“Dining O u t is important for two rea­
sons,” said O H SU Partnership Project D i­
rector Julia Lager-Mesulam via press release.
“To raise needed funds for both agencies, and
to raise awareness about H IV /A ID S. We are
thrilled to put this event on for the Portland
metropolitan area.”
The H IV Day Center is a drop-in facil­
ity for low-income individuals living with
H IV /A ID S, providing hot meals, counseling,
clothing, phones, Internet access, showers and
acupuncture, among other therapeutic and
recreational activities. The PH SU Partner­
ship Project has provided case management
and prevention counseling to those living
with H IV /A ID S for 15 years.
Those unable to make it out on the town
April 29 can still support Dining O u t for
Life by sending donations to the H IV Day
Center— Ecumenical Ministries o f Oregon,
2941 N E Ainsworth St., Portland, O R
97211, or online at emoregon.org/donations.

Disability Pride Art
and Culture Festival to
Feature Genderqueer
Activist Eli Clare
The Fourth Annual Disability Pride and
Culture Festival kicks off April 22 from 1 to 3
p.m. with a special writing workshop featur­
ing disabled, genderqueer activist, poet and
author Eli Clare. The three-day performance
and art consortium takes place at the new
Zoomtopia (810 SE Belmont) performance
space in Southeast Portland.
Clare, who resides in Vermont, has pub­
lished the book o f essays Exile and Pride:
Disability, Queerness and Liberation and the
poetry collection The Marrow's Telling: Words
by Ryan J. P ra d o
in Motion, in addition to his inclusion in
other periodicals and anthologies. He helped
organize the first Queerness and Disability
Conference in San Francisco in 2002 and
speaks and teaches across the United States
and Canada at conferences, community
events and colleges about disability, queer
and trans identities, and social justice*
Later on April 22, Clare facilitates a free
lecture called “Gawking, Gaping, Staring:
Living in M arked...Bodies”from 7 to 9 p.m.
at Portland State University in the Smith
Memorial
Union
Building, room 236.
The writing work­
shop, dubbed “Stories
in Motion: Listening
to the Marrow,” will
continue on April 23
at Zoomtopia, and re­
quires a registration fee
o f $25 to attend. The
festival will be capped
off by an April 24 performance, from 7 to 9
p.m., o f “Bone Translation,” sponsored by the
Regional A rt and Culture Council and the
Oregon Arts Commission. The performance
is designed to explore “our core stories, what
lies in our bones— our histories, our identi­
ties and, when we share these stories, how are
they experienced,” explained Kathy Coleman,
the festival’s artistic director, via Web site.
Coleman was one o f three artists to cre­
ate the Disability A rt and Culture Project in
2005. The group was established after see­
ing an increase in trouble finding accessible
places in the city to dance. M ost o f the initial
founders o f the project— there’s now a core
committee o f six— are wheelchair users.
Coleman has seen the festival grow expo­
nentially over the years, as awareness o f gen­
derqueer and disability issues has evolved.
“We started out in a church basement
with very little funding,” explained Coleman.
“Now we’re in a real studio, and last time we
were in a real theater.”
In addition to a number o f dancers from
around the Portland area, performers will
include a group o f teens and young adults
with disabilities, and writers who take part
in the workshop will have the opportunity to
perform their work on the final day o f the
festival.
Registration for the April 22-23 writing
workshops closes when full.
“O ur goals are two-fold,” related Cole­
man. “We want to have a place for disabled,
emerging artists to be able to show their work
and perform. Some people have never seen
people with disabilities as artists or perform­
ers, and our focus is on creating artists. We
want to educate people about how disability
is a natural variation o f the human form, and
isn’t bad or a problem. Through our expres­
sions and our creativity, having a disability
creates a different aesthetic. Through your
physicality, your mind works differently, and
how you create art comes across differently.”
