Planting Disabled Futures - a virtual reality ritual

Planting Disabled Futures - a virtual reality ritual

At the Play House

This community performance/virtual reality event invites you into a world of healing plants cultivated by disabled peoples’ embodied ways of knowing. Come, try out a headset, hold a plushy critter, and become entangled with the ways we as disabled people honor and engage with plant elders.

This is an intimate house party: up to 10 people per night. Each person will have an opportunity to explore our tree world in the VR headset as part of a storytelling circle. We have both visual and audio pathway options available. This event is designed as a low key hang-out taking place in a supportive environment.

Multiple Access Modes provided: please let us know of any specific access needs in advance of the event you wish to attend. All events are Wheelchair accessible.

Presented by The Olimpias, director: Petra Kuppers, dramaturg: Alexis Riley, access doula: Stephanie Heit. The Planting Disabled Futures Project is supported by the Social Science Research Council’s Just Tech Fellowship, with funds provided by the Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Surdna Foundation, and Democracy Fund.
