“Kickstart has smashed stereotypes of disability and challenged artists and audiences with authentic expressions.”

— Bonnie Sherr Klein / Order of Canada recipient, Filmmaker, Writer, Kickstart Co-Founder

Kickstart Disability Arts and Culture is continuing to celebrate its 21st year of supporting and promoting artists who identify as living with a disability with a new exhibition called “Nothing Without Us”. This exhibition will feature 14 artists that identify as living with a disability.

 “Nothing Without Us” is a term that has been around for years in the disability community and the sentiment has always been clear. Decisions for people with disabilities should be made by people who have disabilities.

 This exhibition is an opportunity to see new artworks by 14 artists that identify as living with a disability. These works reveal the everyday lives, fantasies, dreams, and the abstract thoughts by these Artists which have been created as paintings, drawings, photographs, and mixed media.

Hello Deaf BC,

I am the instructor for the forthcoming Intro to Letterpress worksop run by WePress on June 23rd.
I know that Kathy has already sent you an event listing.
I made a captioned video to share.
Here is the transcription:
[Title screen]
WePress: Introduction to Letterpress
June 23rd, 1:30PM, ASL Interpreted
*Deaf & Hard of Hearing Participants Prioritized*
[White person in a black long-sleeved shirt, signing in front of a red background – white captions run along the bottom]:
WePress presents a new workshop:
Introduction to Letterpress
June 23rd, at 1:30PM
In the DTES (downtown eastside), Vancouver
What is letterpress?
It’s a type of print making.
It uses a really big machine. You pick individual metal letters.
You pick the ones you want and lay them on the machine.
Then you put ink on the metal letters and cover it with paper.
Using big rollers, it presses the paper onto the inked letters.
And makes a print (that you can take home)!
You will learn how to use the machine and design techniques.
All the participants will discuss and design one collaborative poster.
We will print one version of the that poster for everyone who attends.
The workshop is taught by Kay Slater (hoh), speaking, and
will be interpreted at the same time.
This workshop is for: Deaf, Hard of Hearing,
d/oral deaf/hoh (no asl knowledge needed),
and hearing participants (if there is room).
D/d/hoh participants are prioritized.
The workshop is limited to 8 students.
The cost is on a sliding scale. $40 or “pay what you can”.
Free if you can’t pay.
Interested? Email:
We will share the video on our Facebook group event too.
Thank you for helping us share the word about the event.
Cheers,
Kay Slater.
