Agir avec responsabilité peut se traduire de multiples façons. L’implication et le dévouement de ces panelistes dans leur travail, pour offrir des espaces sécuritaires et respectueux au public et aux artistes est tellement inspirant. @OutsideMusic@CripRave@RefractionDAO
"It’s important to increase the range of what accessibility means. We can’t make spaces accessible without considering how things like racism, ongoing colonization, sexism intersect with ableism to make things inaccessible." - @CripRave on designing accessible live experiences.
Our final workshop of the day, Cripping Music Culture through Access Riders, focuses on concrete strategies at the intersection of the music industry and access culture. Hosted by @stefanafratila of Toronto-based collective @criprave. Live now at #MUTEK Forum.

"It was really powerful to be in a space full of disabled, Deaf and Mad people enjoying themselves and celebrating their community," he says, a relief from the typical disabled experience of skipping parties, or feeling unwelcome after arriving.
