Remote Access: Party Planning as Access Worlding

–

In this workshop, current Artist-in-Resident Kevin Gotkin will offer strategies for disability-centric nightlife organizing developed through in the REMOTE ACCESS party series they have stewarded in collaboration with a network of queercrip artists and activists. We will consider access techniques in careful detail, reading the participation guides produced for these events, as we think about this catalytic moment in the art of convening.

This is an in-person event at Het HEM and you are welcome to join us. Capacity is limited and masks must be worn. Please contact us ASAP if there are specific ways your access needs can be met. We will offer automated captioning.

The workshop is free of costs. Registration is required.
