“Disability is political. Disability is community. Disability is identity.
Disability is an experience of living in a world with a ‘one size fits one’ design.
An international artistic and cultural movement is growing, and Deaf and disabled artists are shouting ‘we exist!’.” — Alex Bulmer
Through our inaugural International Deaf and disability Arts Festival, we deepen the commitment to inclusion and accessibility for all artists, staff, volunteers and visitors to our 10-acre waterfront site. Inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility (IDEA) are foundational values in all that is on offer at our campus. For us, to be inclusive and accessible is to ensure everyone is imagined in the presentation of and engagement in cultural offerings. We will continue to listen and learn how we can better create a place of belonging and serve all of our communities needs.
