This event will give us space to come together to watch some incredible performances by disabled artists, honour the artists who exhibited their work in the online exhibition, and celebrate ourselves and our community on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Join us on ZOOM for an evening of art & community, including performances by award winning spoken word artists Cassandra Myers and Lannii Layke; with a DJ set by dj nik red during our intermission!
International Day of Persons with Disabilities (or IDPD), was introduced by the United Nations in 1992 to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements that persons with disabilities contribute to our community.
The purpose of IDPD is to: Promote an understanding of disability issues; Mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of people with disabilities; and, Increase awareness of the value of integrating people with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic, and cultural life. In recognition of this day, we decided to close our exhibition on December 3rd and throw a Virtual Celebration!
