TALK BACK believes that disability must be included in conversations about diversity. One part of affecting change in the art world is by placing disabled artists and organizers in positions of influence within the arts to effect change from within. \nTALK BACK imagines a reality yet to exist\, shifts able-normative assumptions to make room for every body and illuminates non-binary futures. TALK BACK envisions and celebrates joy\, pleasure\, mindbody\, radical care and inclusion\, sovereign bodies\, crip time\, community building\, non-verbal and alternative forms of communication. TALK BACK disrupts through fluidity\, quiet protest\, overt and mass protest that includes multiple ways of showing up and being present. TALK BACK works within and against capitalism\, classism and medical ableism to redefine value\, time\, productivity and worth. TALK BACK makes room for criticism\, restoration liberation\, coming out\, ownership of one’s mind and body\, access demands\, intersectionality and utopias to offer multiple entry points to TALK BACK. \nPlease join us in celebration of TALK BACK’s workshops\, performances\, gatherings\, spoken word\, screenings\, visual arts\, video\, sound works\, DIY\, panels\, activism\, books\, installations\, zines\, artist talks\, performance lectures\, discussions and celebrations with and for local\, national\, and international disabled artists and organizers! \nParticipating Artists and Organizers to date: Ilana Abramovitch + Joel Shatzky\, Ezra Benus\, Megan Bent\, Laurie Berenhaus + Fountain House Gallery Artists\, Pelenakeke Brown\, Monica Chulewicz\, Ivan Dalia\, Wieteke Heldens\, Shannon Finnegan\, Sharona Franklin\, Dustin P.
