NEW COLLABORATION WITH OBORO AND MACM!

FROM LEARNING TO ACTION: INTERROGATING ACCESS 2

Spectrum Productions has teamed up with the artist run centre OBORO and the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MACM) in a new project called From Learning to Action: Interrogating Access 2.

Generously funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, this project draws on our learning from our 2019/20 Interrogating Access series and is driven by our shared desire to actively apply accessibility tools in visual and media arts milieus.

From Learning to Action will include a series of 4 FREE PUBLIC WEBINARS in 2023 about accessible design in audio and media arts, and a set of skills exchange workshops for staff in our organizations to explore and implement different accessibility tools within our physical and virtual spaces and programs.

We will also host a 10-month artist residency for an artist, cultural worker or media professional to experiment with different approaches to developing audio description practices for exhibitions, and/or integrated video description for artistic or media projects.

We look forward to working with the team at OBORO again, and are excited for the opportunity to partner with the team at the MACM. We hope the explorations made during this project will help guide the implementation of good accessibility practices in art and media production into the future, particularly with regard to audio description!

We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts
