Worksession: A Cane, Sticky Note, Another Body
From 2 until 7 December 2024, I participated in Constants A cane, sticky notes, another body work session. In SI24, Martino Morandi suggested me to sign up for the week. As I am fully immersed into the subject of (in)access, (in)affordability and (dis)ability. This week purely spoke to me so I was glad to be selected.
Monday
Everybody was installed. Intro rounds were made of names and pronouns. Overviews were shared and emails given. We had some rooms in usage. The first main room was a Theater Space in which we were for 2 days. The second main room was on floor 1. We had a salon and also a soft space in the attic.
Tuesday
We had a presentation by Josefien Cornette about their works concerning ableism --> Cripping the Space, Engagement Arts. She presented a very intense work which were compressed interviews on ableist experiences in the arts. We listened to quite some of these Testimonies. There were some very relatable stories. Afterwards, she also presented privilege checklist and tools. Which seemed like some sort of manifesto in the shape of a checklist.
Checklist of what, as disabled, I can expect from institution
checklist of what, as non-disabled, should be aware of in the institution
One thing I asked at some point was based on
- Ik hoef bezoekers of personeel niet te onderrichten over structureel validisme. (I don't have to educate other people about structural valid-ism)
I was kind of agreeing with other things that were shared but at this point, I felt like: "Don't you want to bridge the gap of knowledge? Why?"
The answer was that she meant that she doesn't have to be an expert in disability / accessibility practice without getting paid of it. (Which makes sense)
