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.

SUMMARY:People For An Accessible Mars: TALK BACK Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Image Description: “PAM” is written in large\, white text in the center of a square image. Behind the word “PAM” is a red circle with a curved\, blue line that crosses the middle of the circle with a simple\, small rocketship-esque symbol at the very end. The background is black.\nPeople For An Accessible Mars \nTALK BACK Workshop\nSaturday\, May 25 3-5pm \nRSVP (Not Required but Requested) \nPeople for an Accessible Mars (PAM) People for an Accessible Mars (PAM) is a non-profit that seeks to instrumentalize the expertise of the disability community and collect data on accessible space travel and terraform methods. Through a series of workshops\, surveys\, and focus groups; we intend to advise NASA and all mars exploration initiatives on how to build an accessible future. The intention is to build access into the architecture of everything we do. To be intentional about building an inclusive society\, rather than retrofitting access at a later date. \nPeople for an Accessible Mars (PAM) is facilitated by Madison Zalopany and Alex Zak. \nMadison Zalopany is an artist and disability activist. She currently lives in New York\, NY and works as the Coordinator to Access and Community Programs at the Whitney Museum. She received her BFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2011. Currently she is participating in the 2018-2019 Art and Disability Residency. \nAlex Zak’s upbringing in Florida instilled him with a familiarity to specific modes of labor\, consumption\, and their relationship to leisure economies. Through sculpture\, installation\, performance\, and video\, Zak’s work explores ways in which the histories of objects or spaces become obfuscated by the systems and aesthetics of tourism. His recent works deploy methods of flattening and material manipulations\, creating surfaces that mimic their respective origins. By assigning alternate functions\, values\, and position to recognizable cultural signifiers\, Zak hopes to agitate the mechanics of social architectures and technologies. Zak is currently a MFA candidate in sculpture at Yale School of Art. \nPeople for an Accessible Mars workshop is presented as part of TALK BACK\, an exhibition that centers the lives and leadership of disabled artists and organizers. \nTALK BACK is curated by Lexy Ho-Tai and moira williams. \n Accessibility:\nFlux Factory gallery and ground floor\, gender-neutral bathroom is ADA Accessible.
