Made Visible Not Defined by Diagnosis Allowing Individuality to be Seen Heard Exhibiting Imagination Creating Passports To Possibilities Made Visible Made Visible was born as a result of Not Defined by Diagnosis a Photo Workshop and its resulting Exhibit that put cameras in the hands of teens and young adults with lifethreatening illnesses at Montefiore Childrens Hospital allowing them to speak about their experiences in words and images. We learned about the importance of having a passport to meaningful connections genuine engagement and selfexpression regardless of setting or diagnosis. Our Vision In establishing this organization Annie Levy joined by others has continued to develop these passports to possibilities with projects and programs that allow participants to be made visible to themselves and others and for larger worlds to be made visible and accessible. A current project Words With Tex features an amazing lizard .
