Gina Kaminski Save the Wolf
No full textGina Kaminski is struggling in the over-sensory school classroom, so she is given the chance to decompress in the school library. He support assistant reads Gina the story Little Red Riding Hood. Gina immediately identifies three huge mistakes and is furious. She portals into Fairytale Land to fix them. She overcomes obstacles and saves the day (and the Wolf!) with fantastical ingenuity. This is an action adventure story told through an autistic, own-voice lens. The picturebook deploys a fourth wall breaking, first person, present tense POV for an immediate and intimate insight into a multi-sensory neurodiverse world. Gina also uses an emotions chart to articulate her feelings when life is overwhelming and she cannot express herself verbally. These visual aids are often found in school and domestic settings. The book showcases hitherto underseen representations of everyday neurodiversity, agile and effective teaching support systems and nonverbal communication. Gina interrogates and remixes a fairytale to form her own values, particularly on displays of masculinity, while navigating the traditional hero’s journey in a manner appropriate for the young reader

Urgent Autobiographies
Get PDFThis chapter develops on topics explored in the seminar the author has curated and facilitated for the Global Photographies Network in late 2021 entitled ‘Urgent Stories: Lived Experiences of a Changing planet', bringing together photography and arts practice, eco-philosophy, science and literature. Whilst the six-day seminar series looked to address the question of ‘What climate collapse asks of us?', this chapter looks to build a cohesive understanding of how photographic practice can respond to environmental change by focusing on ecological awareness and storytelling in autobiography- and lived experienced-based work. Drawing from the photographic work of seminar participants, the chapter weaves the elements of memory, archive, and relationship between oral storytelling and photographs into this discussion. Consequently, this chapter argues that storytelling based on first person accounts of ecology and change is not only a valuable tool in climate action, but urgent work in shaping heightened ecological consciousness
