How do we tell ‘the story’ of disability, and who has the right to tell those tales? Why does it matter how we talk and who talks about disability? What responsibility do we have when it comes to representation and how do we take up that cause?
The legacy of Covid 19 means there are more members of the world’s largest minority group than ever before. In this workshop, there will be an exploration of how attitudes around disability are shaped, how this bias pervades our collective thinking and creativity, and what can we do to challenge it while creating an anti-ableism creative practice. This workshop encourages you to recognise ableism, and work proactively to become a disability ally.
What we’ll explore
- What is a disability, and how to identify direct or indirect ableism
- Techniques to identify and root out ableism in a creative practice
- Resources to support your journey as an anti-ableist creative
