Access 101: how to make your events more accessible
Join us for an evening gaining a better understanding of what accessibility can mean and how to plan events with accessibility in mind. There is no one size fit all for accessibility but we will review all the myriad of options available to make events more accessible.
Disabled and chronically ill queer people are often left out of queer spaces due to a lack of access. Come join us to learn the existing tools to create more accessible spaces for all of us.
About the facilitator: Alber Saborío Velásquez is a disabled artist and facilitator from Honduras. They have been based in Ireland for over a decade organising events in the arts in person and online. They run The Cutlery Drawer, an online disabled queer pride celebration.
