The exhibit, which showcases the work of five female artists, four of whom are disabled, next travels to the National Institute of Arts and Disabilities in Richmond, Calif., March 30 to May 11.

Parriott screened films and worked as a zombie at an opening night party. Lerner moderated a panel discussion with Romero following a screening of “Dawn of the Dead.” Lerner also designed the soundtrack for a film promoting the American Zombie event. Around the "D"
