British Columbia News Release in PDF:
Disrupting Barriers in the Area of Accessibility
Saturday, September 29, 2018
7:00PM – 9:00PM
Lost + Found Cafe, 33 W. Hastings
On Saturday, September 29, 2018 artist and organizer Carmen Papalia
will present a panel of community voices that will pose a vision for
accessibility in the wake of a new federal accessibility plan that
fails to address ableism and colonization; legislation that could
limit grassroots support options and institutionalize support services
at a local and federal level. In partnership with Other Sights for
Artist Projects and the City of Vancouver’s Creative City Strategy,
the event will serve as an opportunity to discuss the potential impact
of a wide-net approach to accessibility on the cultural and social
service sectors.
A panel of speakers will introduce the topic and a series of short
presentations by community members will offer perspectives that are
underrepresented in the wider conversation about accessibility;
outlining the barriers that currently keep those with complex needs
from finding support and contributing to the cultural ecology. Help
set a new precedent for criticality in the area of accessibility and
join the movement!
Presenters will include representatives from: All Bodies Dance,
Gallery Gachet, Reverb: a Queer Reading Series, The Slow Wave
residency, SUM Gallery, WePress, among others!
Access notes:
Lost & Found Café is a welcoming community space that is wheelchair &
scooter accessible.
Event will include: on-site childcare, queer ASL, live graphic
recording, and a visual witnessing of the visual aspects of the space
by Vocal Eye Descriptive Arts!
Note: Organizers strive for a scent-reduced space; please refrain from
using perfumes, colognes, or scented soaps & body products prior to
attending.
