The Spring edition of the series is titled “Disabled Legacies: Beyond Access and Inclusion”. It is led by the question: “Can research in the arts enable us to live and better inhabit the world together?”
The programme – through a series of talks, performances and workshops – will explore not only histories of disability but ways of thriving and being, arguing that disability justice can be not just a subject of study but a method and mode of being. This edition is co-convened by Kenny Fries, Khairani Barokka and Sria Chatterjee.
