Cripping Spaces: Creative Depiction of Ableism

Instructions

Part ONE:
Context
Here, you will create a Visual Article demonstrating the knowledge you’ve learned in this course.
Imagine you run an accessibility blog (like the work we’ve been following along with disabled activist Alice Wong) where you like to talk about topics of activism and ableism. You become aware of a conference happening in your city on the topic of disability in healthcare. When you investigated the conference, you noticed:
1. The conference only seems to focus on physical disabilities.
2. Does not address accessibility resources/services.
3. Focuses on negative attributes of disability.
4. Is not hosted in an accessible location/venue.
5. Is being advertised with a tag line “Every Body is Welcome – Disability in Healthcare for all Bodies.
6. Panelists are all presumably able-bodied and mostly white.
You’ve attempted to connect with the conference organizers and venue but have had no success. You do see that the conference has a social media presence and even has a trending #hashtag.
Your task is to create a visual article to raise awareness about the importance of considering disability access at this particular conference.
Requirements:
You should have at least 1200 words of written content in your visual article.
As we have read and heard many disability narratives in this course, you should draw from at least, a minimum of five different narratives (including at least one guest lecture) to demonstrate your knowledge of course content.
You will also use Autistic Access Needs: Notes on Accessibility where you are being asked to think about accessibility with a wide range of users in mind. For example, consider ways in which people experience spaces who may have sensory and cognitive access needs. We are moving beyond physical barriers. How do spaces make you feel as a contributing citizen or not feel as one? What are the diverse experiences of disability?
Include at least four recommendations that would make the conference more accessible and identify who will benefit from these changes besides disabled folks.
