1:30–3:00 PM | Subtitling & Alt-Text Workshop
Rather than conceiving access as add-on features or a matter of code compliance, how can we approach it as an opportunity for creative experimentation? This workshop discusses current discourse in access and disability studies to address the overt and convert ableism in creative spaces. Attendees are invited to bring an object, artwork, or photo for a brief activity. Presentation in English - Available upon request: whisper translation in French + ASL/LSQ.
