Biography:

Marrok Zenon Sedgwick is a disabled trans activist and educator who uses artmaking as their primary tool for challenging society’s injustices. As a creative producer and documentarian, Sedgwick has most recently produced and directed the documentary film Rewriting Love for their theater and film company, Fearless Minds Theatrical (FMT). The film looks at the changing nature of families as society grows more inclusive of LGBTQIA community members. As an educator, Sedgwick has worked in general education and special education classrooms, as well as with a drama program for youth with disabilities. Sedgwick brings a dramaturgical eye to all their activities, especially in working to find creative approaches to inclusion. Sedgwick’s goal is to build FMT into a non-profit community arts center, which will serve as a safe space for people from the disability, LGBTQ, and intersecting communities (especially communities of color) to make art, share resources, and find camaraderie.
