Pajama Party Politics: Access through Solidarity
Pajama Party Politics: Access through Solidarity is presented by Listen to Dis' Sask Arts Alliance. Join us for a cultural conversation with Max Ferguson and Traci Foster on accessibility and accommodation.
Who is this for? Everyone, access is not for the disabled only.
When and Where? December 8 at 6:30 pm (CT) via Zoom
The discussion will focus on why it is important that we all, as artists and cultural workers, both independently and as part of organizations, do the work to catch up and keep up with the current understanding of access and accommodation with and for d/Deaf, mad, k/crip, chronically ill, sick, and disabled artists.
Everyone is welcome and we invite you to come as you are – just as you are – whether in pajamas on the couch, or comfy in your office.
