A work-in-progress exhibition and event series exploring disability and access to land, water, air, and life at times of climate emergency.

As a direct result of centuries of extractivist and exploitative human activities, habitable areas around the world are shrinking. At these times of climate catastrophe it is not only bodies that fall ill and become disabled but also lands, waters, air and the broader conditions of life that are being harmed and disabled. 

Join Access in the Making (AIM) Lab as we explore through research-creation and artmaking how disabled livelihoods in the Global South and North are responding to climate emergencies accelerated by industries of extraction. Each day we will explore two works-in-progress in detail and discuss the various ways in which the Anthropocene creates conditions for disablement and how we continue to survive regardless.

*ASL interpretation and other access needs requests available via clicking this accessibility form. We kindly ask you fill it out 8 days prior to the event to ensure that we can accommodate.

The three-day workshop will be led by book designer Roï Saade and will guide participants in the process of making a photobook. Participants are asked to bring 15 to 40 images from one of their projects or series, and register here.
