Accessibility is something that involves different contexts and scenarios. From the development of accessible solutions for all people and that will involve other people who know how to develop inclusive solutions. Even the best practices for disseminating inclusive and accessible solutions. It is increasingly common for people to say that it is important to use alternative texts, transcriptions, sign language and different methods to bring inclusion to the contents, but at the same time there is still a shortage of qualified professionals to do this in a more assertive way. . Taking into account that no one is born knowing how to do it and it is necessary to go through an adaptation phase, in this workshop we will understand some phases of this process and how you can start creating truly inclusive content, somehow.

To advance this conversation we are pleased to invite Dr. M. Leona Godin, an accomplished writer, performer, educator, and editor, to join us as our upcoming featured guest speaker. For those interested in learning more about the unique experience of blindness and who seek to become a more supportive ally, advocate, and champion for inclusive design, make sure to join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Godin. This virtual event promises to be a rich conversation about how art, accessibility, technology, and disability intersect to create spaces that unravel and challenge our notions of visually impaired and blind people. Dr. Godin will unpack the history, myths, and ideas about blindness and challenge many presumptions embedded in our “ocularcentric” culture – themes also explored in her book, “There Plant Eyes: A Personal and Cultural History of Blindness”.
