Carmen Papalia:

For A New Accessibility 

Saturday, July 23rd 

Half-Day Workshop 

Artist Carmen Papalia will conduct a participatory workshop on the topic of organizing for accessibility and mutual aid. Sharing a selection of exercises, writing and documentation from his last several years of practice-based research, Papalia will introduce participants to a new, relational model for access based on assessing the conditions of social environments. Toward this end, Papalia will guide participants in unlearning the disabling practices at odds with fair, long-term engagement with local marginalized communities-a necessary first step toward realizing accessibility as an open cultural practice, through which those who are in need may claim support that will empower them to thrive.
Please Note: The workshop has a capacity of 25 participants and registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
