Organizing for Accessibility: A Roundtable Discussion
Event Description
"Building on Carmen Papalia’s Open Access workshop, artist, educator, and activist Kevin Gotkin, curator Catherine Morris, Carmen Papalia, and choreographer and dancer Alice Sheppard strategize about how to organize for accessibility, discussing methodologies that we can employ – as artists, curators, organizers, and individuals – in the current social, cultural, and political climate, as the revamping of the health care system puts marginalized communities at even greater risk. The conversation will also address the state of disability as a field of interest in contemporary art, and the role language plays, as a tool of alienation or inclusion. Ultimately, the panel will explore how agency and power inform institutional access and publicness."
