The Labs for Liberation Lecture series includes six-weeks of free, online, and accessible programming. There will be lectures and panel discussions with experts in critical disability studies and Black feminist disability approaches to design and technology in order to bridge many realms of thinking, knowing, and making. In this performance lecture, Jeff Kasper deconstructs resilience as a form of collective access work—something designed, sustained, and practiced together. Blending storytelling with a tour of past projects, writings, and design workshop ephemera, Kasper invites the audience to explore accessibility as an ongoing, relational endeavor. Through poetic image descriptions, brief creative prompts, and contemplative texts narrated by the artist, the lecture offers space for reflection, rest, and collective imagining. Speakers Jeff Kasper is the editor of More Art in the Public Eye, creator of wrestling embrace and other disability arts projects, and Assistant Professor at University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Sasha Costanza-Chock, Ph.D. (she/her or they/them) is a researcher and designer who works to support community-led processes that build shared power, dismantle the matrix of domination, and advance ecological survival. They are a nonbinary trans* femme. Her book Design Justice: Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need is freely available at design-justice.pubpub.org.
