For A New Accessibility
Kay reflects back on the year 2015, when the conference For A New Accessibility was hosted at Gallery Gachet and the Contemporary Art Gallery. A love letter to accessible practices and possibilities, Kay speaks about how the event centred Disabled, Queer and Trans, Chronically Ill, and Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities within the arts.
Kay works in art spaces across occupied Coast Salish territory to examine value, inclusion and expectations within gallery and fine art environments. They are a white, queer, hard of hearing, and mad settler. They work with an attitude that welcomes conflict, change and fire, specifically challenging the professional world to explore discomfort and radical change. They want Institutions to be both interested and scared to work with them! They are especially ready to be wrong and to be in discussion about how they can do better.
